Ozymandias

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 shatter'd visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things The hand that mock'd 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.'

Nature and power

Pride - he was proud of what he achieved

Arrogance - he believed he was the most powerful ruler in the land. He also saw him self as better and higher then everyone else

Power - the humans are insignificant compared to the passing of time (nature). Humans are temporary
