I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert... near them, on the sand,Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed;And on the pedestal these words appear:'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings;Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare the lone and level sands stretch far away.
This poem is about a building in Egypt that was made for a powerful god but it tells us that its crumbled and only 2 "trunkless legs" remain, however it says that you can hear it saying i'm am "king of kings" this might suggest that just because something isn't as strong ,perfect and as powerful as it was before doesn't mean it isn't still a magnificent building. on the other hand it could show that something that might of once been a almighty thing can eventually crumble away and weaken the scene of ruin and decay suggests that even the mighty Ozymandias cannot contend with human mortality. ]]> 2018-02-09 10:18:51 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_unsworth/Ozymandias/wish/229957213 Ozymandias kylehintonn https://padlet.com/katie_unsworth/Ozymandias/wish/229958071 Ozymandias is a sonnet written by Percy Bysshe Shelley, a Romantic poet from England. The poem was first published on c.11 January 1818, in an issue of The Examiner. Ozymandias is the sonnet Shelley is most known for.

The poem is based on a meeting between a traveller and the narrator, who met in an "antique" land, who had seen the remains of a huge statue in the desert. Shelley then tells us the story the traveller told him. The message of the sonnet is that power is only temporary.

The title, 'Ozymandias', is what was found on the pedestal discovered in the sonnet. "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Ozymandias was a Greek name for Ramesses II, who ruled Egypt from 1279 to 1213 BCE. Ramesses II is considered to be one of the greatest Pharaohs in Egyptian history.

Shelley uses the verb "decay" to describe the "trunkless legs of stone" which belonged to the statue of Ozymandias (the Greek translation of Ramesses II).

Ramesses II plays an important role in Shelley's sonnet, due to how the message behind it is that all power is only temporary. Ramesses II was known to be the greatest Pharaoh of the Egyptian Empire, yet the fact that his statue began to "decay" suggests that his power has began to "decay" now that there is nothing but a statue of him left, and that is the only thing that "remains" of him. This links to Shelley's message behind the sonnet that power may only be temporary.

Furthermore, "decay" has connotations of not lasting long, and the destruction of someone or something - again, linking to how Shelley uses the verb "decay" to express the message of temporary power throughout the sonnet.

It was first published on the 11th January 1818.

The message behind Ozymandias is to remind powerful people that their power is only temporary, linking to leaders and empires - and how their superiority won't last long. It's based on the narrator meeting a traveller in an "antique land", and had seen huge stone legs standing in the desert, from the remains of a statue, which is what the poem got its inspiration from. "Ozymandias" is a name that translates to Ramesses II, who has a purpose in this poem due to how the statue included in the poem was of Ramesses.

Shelley uses the adjective "shattered" to describe the facial features of "Ozymandias". The word "shattered" suggests that something, or someone, is broken. This implies that not only physically is this statue ruined - but the person it represents could be mentally "shattered" (Ramesses II). This links to how Ramesses II was known as the most powerful Pharaoh of the Egyptian Empire, so the fact that this poem has the message that power is only temporary, may be why Ramesses II is "shattered".

Shelley must use the dialogue of Ramesses II to prove this point. This is seen when he says "look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" which could suggest that Ramesses II is not proud of his "works" - and that he feels "shattered" and inferior because of them.]]> 2018-02-09 10:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_unsworth/Ozymandias/wish/229962444 Ozymandias izabellagreenhough https://padlet.com/katie_unsworth/Ozymandias/wish/229962489 Ozymandias is a sonnet written by Percy Bysshe Shelley.

It's about a narrator meeting a traveller from an ancient land. The narrator then tells us the story that the traveller once told him. It was first published in 1818.
The story starts with the ruins of a statue in the desert of the travelers native country
The narrator talks about a statue in the desert.
The statue is broken apart, yet a face can be made out. The face looks stern and powerful, like a ruler. The sculptor did a good job at expressing the ruler’s personality. The ruler was arrogant.

The title "ozymandias"
is an ancient Greek name for Ramses II of Egypt. It's called this because the meaning of the poem is that it reminds the reader that powerful people that their power is only temporary implying that Ozymandias (Ramses II) was once powerful.

On line 4 and 5, the quote "whose frown and wrinkled lip, a sneer of cold command" shows that the ruler was arrogant. The sculptor could make out the expressions of the ruler through the statue. This shows that the ruler wasn't good at what he did since he had a "sneer" which implies that he was mean to his people. This suggests that ruling didn't go so well for him and the power eventually died down and left him with nothing. On line 12, "nothing beside remains" supports that. It shows that his power is over, he has nothing. "Nothing" has connotations of emptiness and in this case his power is the thing being empty which is being represented in the ruins left behind. ]]> 2018-02-09 10:39:08 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_unsworth/Ozymandias/wish/229962676 ozymandias JAMESARMSTRONG https://padlet.com/katie_unsworth/Ozymandias/wish/229962793 \]]> 2018-02-09 10:39:33 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_unsworth/Ozymandias/wish/229962793 Ozymandias jwray7 https://padlet.com/katie_unsworth/Ozymandias/wish/229963087 A poem written by Percy Bysshe Shelly which was first published in January 1818. It is regarded as one of Shelley's best pieces and is frequently anthologised. To summarise ozymandias the poet describes meeting with someone who has traveled to a place where ancient civilisations once existed. We know from the title he's talking about Egypt. The traveller told the speaker a story about an old fragmented statue in the middle of the desert. The statue is broken but you can still make out the face of a person the face looks stern and powerful which was like the pharaoh himself a cold person but cared for his people. Then he describes words on a pedestal ' My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works,ye Mighty and despair!'. This would suggest Ozymandias was quite big headed because he left that there just so people would know him creating the image that he wants to be known. However, the statue is later described as:' Nothing beside remains: round the decay of that colassal wreck, boundless and bare, the lone and level sands stretch far away'.

First published on 11 January 1818, Ozymandias is a sonnet written Percy Bysshe. Ozymandias was a Greek name for pharaoh Ramesses II, who ruled Egypt from 1279 BCE to 1213 BCE, in the 19th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt. The poem's creation began in 1817, soon after the announcement of the British Museum's acquisition of a large fragment of a statue of Ramesses II from the thirteenth century BCE, leading some to believe that the poem was inspired by this. The 7.25-ton fragment of the statue's head and torso had been removed in 1816 from the mortuary temple of Ramesses at Thebes by Italian adventurer Giovanni Battista Belzoni. It was expected to arrive in London in 1818, but did not arrive until 1821. The poem explores the fate of history and the ravages of time, their legacies fated to decay into oblivion.

Ozymandias is a sonnet written by English Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, published on the 11th January 1818. The poem is based on a Greek pharaoh named Ramesses ll, who ruled Egypt from 1279 BCE to 1213 BCE. Ozymandias was actually a Greek name which meant Remesses so theresfor the poet based the poem off this Greek Pharoh.

The writer wrote the poem about a person he met from an “antique land” . The word “antique” implies that perhaps the traveller was from a very old, ancient place, which could further reinforce that the when you have power you don’t have it forever, in that in this poem it talks about the traveller having a “shattered” face. This could suggest numerous things the poet could perhaps be talking about how this persons power has “shattered” , it could also suggest that perhaps this person has “shattered”.

Ozymandias was the Greek name for Ramesses II who ruled Egypt from 1279 BCE to 1213 BCE. It explores the fate of history, and that even the greatest rulers will decay and fall from power. The poem is about somebody who met a "Traveller" from an "antique land", which then describes a decayed, ruined statue there. It could be inferred that the statue resembles how even the greatest of people and rulers, are eventually lost to time, and how fragile they really are. How the sonnet tells that the traveller is from an "antique land" could show that they were once part of a great country etc., but has fallen into ruin and has been abandoned by all, further implying the fragility of human accomplishments, life, and buildings, and how they all slowly decay

The quote 'antique land' describes the desert in the sonnet as being desolate and barren. This links to how the sonnet describes the ruins of the once great tomb of Ramses II, also known as Ozymandias, because nothing was left in the lonely desert. This also links to how the tomb was meant to memorialize Ramses' greatness after his death, but instead shown sad pictures of death and decay.
