Percy Bysshe Shelly Ozymandias

Percy Bysshe Shelly is a well renowned author of poetry and prose. He has written much credible works during his time. One particular poem is a sonnet called Ozymandias which tells us that humans are mortals and do not live forever, we are temporal creatures and that with the person goes the power. <Tab/>My first impression of this poem made me very confused. How could I spot the transitions here …

…only displays how much time in actuality is between him and us as the readers. So therefore he has nothing over us. Only meaningless words and a destroyed and leveled figure are still remained, that cannot cause any harm to us. This poem makes me feel very sad because it makes me realize that humans cannot live forever and that everyone eventually has an end. This is a very deep intense poem to any reader.
