Ozymandias

'Percy Shelley's "Ozymandias" depicts a story told by a traveler about a decaying statue. In pieces, the statue proves that the power of time and nature triumphs over mans' delusion of permanence.'

Above is a proper thematic statement, thus it suffices to say that mine was vague, to say the least.

I have just one additional thing to say about Shelley's poem. One aspect that I found striking was that the king, who was obviously powerful and disliked by the people, was immortalized in a statue; and the one who immortalized that king was simply a worker.
