Reading Ozymandias of Egypt | Alexandria
Read Ozymandias of Egypt by Percy Bysshe Shelley. Crumbling into dust, a mighty pharaoh's statue teaches us life's most humbling truth: even the greatest empires fade to nothing. Ozymandias captures humanity's eternal struggle with mortality and ego, reminding us that power is temporary. Yet paradoxically, art outlasts monuments - Shelley's words endure while Ozymandias's works lie broken in the sand.
