OZYMANDIAS
--
PB Shelley
P.B.Shelley
is a popular romantic poet. His poem “Ozymandias” reveals the supremacy of art
over life.
One day Shelley meets a traveler from an ancient land. He reports
that he has seen two vast and trunkless legs of stone in the desert. There is
also a shattered face half covered with sand. One can not miss the frown, the
wrinkled lip and pride of cold command in the face.
The
sculptor should have closely studied the passions of ozimandias. The author
appreciates the hand and the heart of the sculptor. They captured the traits of
Ozymandias and made them permanent by
stamping them on the lifeless stone. It was found on the pedestal, ‘ I am
Ozimandias, King of Kings.’ Ironically, nothing remains around the broken
statue except bare and boundless sand.
