Acerca de este título
Percy Bysshe Shelley's Ozymandias masterfully encapsulates the transient nature of power and the enduring consequences of human hubris. Through the vivid imagery of a decaying statue in an endless desert, Shelley illustrates how Ozymandias's once-mighty empire has crumbled into obscurity, leaving behind only a shattered monument and an ironic inscription: "Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
This stark contrast between the king's boastful proclamation and the surrounding desolation serves as a poignant reminder that all human achievements, no matter how grand, are ultimately ephemeral.
The poem's enduring relevance lies in its universal message about the impermanence of power and the folly of arrogance, themes that continue to resonate across generations. Shelley's concise yet profound sonnet stands as one of the finest poems ever written, offering a timeless reflection on the human condition and the inevitable decline of all empires.
