Shelley's sonnet about Ozymandias evokes romantic themes of the transience of things and life, and the harshness of reality and nostalgia for the past. The poem describes a traveler seeing two great stone legs standing in the desert, with a shattered face nearby that still shows a sneer of cold command, mocking the passions of the sculptor. The only remaining inscription says "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!", but nothing remains except the lonely, level sands stretching as far as the eye can see.
