	SparkNotes: Shelley's Poetry: "Ozymandias"
		"Ozymandias" is a sonnet, a fourteen-line poem metered in iambic pentameter.
		Ozymandias is first and foremost a metaphor for the ephemeral nature of political power, and in that sense the poem is Shelley's most outstanding political sonnet, trading the specific rage of a poem like "England in 1819" for the crushing impersonal metaphor of the statue.
		It is significant that all that remains of Ozymandias is a work of art and a group of words; as Shakespeare does in the sonnets, Shelley demonstrates that art and language long outlast the other legacies of power.

	[minstrels] Ozymandias -- Percy Bysshe Shelley
		From: Blake Walter I was struck by a thought; you wrote in response to one of the earlier messages: "I agree - more precisely, Rameses may not have respected the mastery of time, but that made little difference in the end." And yet, through Shelley's poem, Ozymandias's reign is extended a bit further.
		Not perhaps in the manner he (Ozymandias) would have liked, but as a warning, his name now stretches into even the post-modern conscience and finds life again amongst the ethereal essences of the Internet.
		From: Rick Molloy Hi Michelle, I must admit that I am not as well versed in the syntax of poetry as you appear to be; but I do feel that 'Ozymandias' is one of the great poems of all time.

	Analysis of Ozymandias (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The poem was written around 1800 and the fact that it was written in an "antique land" (1) illustrates that the author was attempting to distance himself from Ramses, indicating the faded view of the past king Ozymandias.
		Great opposition, irony and sarcasm appears when it is said, "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains." This negative connotation shows that there once was a vast kingdom, but now that kingdom has disappeared.
		Hence, Ozymandias is simply a "ruler of air" or a "ruler of nothing".

		The "passions" on Ozymandias' face, that is, survive or live on after both hand and heart.
		"The hand that mocked them" seems to be the sculptor's hand, delineating the vainglory of his subject in "these lifeless things"; and "the heart that fed" must be Ozymandias' own, feeding on (perhaps) its own arrogance.
		Kelvin Everest and Geoffrey Matthews suggest that line 8 ends with an ellipsis: "and the heart that fed [them]" (that is, those same passions that are the referent of the pronoun "them" governed by "mocked" (The Poems of Shelley, II: 1817-1819 [London: Pearson, 2000]: 311).
