Read by Vincent Price Music by Slow Meadow - Percy Bysshe Shelley was one of the most highly regarded and influential poets of the 19th century. Shelley's poem “Ozymandias” famously describes a ruined statue of an ancient king in an empty desert. This ambiguous ode carries between its folds heaps of philosophical matters; the poet uses a shattered statue to highlight the ephemeral nature of fame, vanity and power. Nothing lasts forever. Glory, reputation, conquests or occupations, everything will come to an end eventually.
