OZYMANDIAS - POEM AT A GLANCE
The poet meets a traveler from an ancient land.
The traveler tells the poet that he has seen two huge trunk-less legs of stone standing in the desert.
Near those legs lay a shattered and half buried face in the sand.
The face of the statue showed signs of contempt and cold command on it.
It seems that the workmanship of the sculptor who made the statue, was of a very high order.
The sculptor had read those passions of the living man quite well. He stamped those passions exactly on the lifeless stones.
On the pedestal of the statue the following words are written:
“My name is Ozymandias, Kings of Kings: Look upon my works, ye Mighty,and despair!”
Only boundless and bare sand is spreading all around the broken statue and the shattered face of Ozymandias.
