"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on
my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
From these lines, Shelly
tells us that Ozymandias was very powerful during his times and feared.His power is also
shown by the fact that even the 'mighty' despaired. However, as the poem progresses, we
get to know that all that remains is a decayed and forgotten
wreck.
"Round the decay
Of that
colossal wreck"
From the above, Shelly points out the fact
that everything is short lived and that nothing lasts forever; that the power of the
kings last only till they live; that their kingdom and prominence will soon be
forgotten.
