Ozymondias by Percy Bysshe Shelley
  1. It is about an Egyptian pharaoh who was called Ramesses II
    1. He saw part of a statue of the pharaoh at a museum
      1. He ruled with tyranny and was extremely egocentric
        1. Shelley was a romantic poet
          1. It is a sonnet, but it is neither petrarchan nor shakespearean, which reflects that Ramesses didn't conform to anyone else
            1. 'lone and level', the alliteration creates a long sound, which shows that he has slowly disappeared and been forgotten
              1. 'half sunk and shattered visage', this is quite ironic, as he used to look down on people and now they look down on him
                1. Line 10, where he says his name, has an extra syllable, which shows that he thinks he deserves extra respect
                  1. The caesura is symbolic of the fact that his legacy has ended
                    1. 'survive, stamped', the sibilance mocks the sand of sand blowing
