Ozymandias

In Percy Shelly's Ozymandias irony and sarcasm appears when the speaker says, "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. Neither property nor the king himself is immortal which is indicated. Also it is obvious that the King of Kings spoken of in the poem is actually nature itself. Nature never disappears and nature represents the immortality.
