  • When I taught high school English this was the poem I used to introduce poetry unit to students, that it was a rational process with a point, not just flowery language and feelings. I didn't like poetry myself all growing up though I loved Lit, but Shelley (and Keats, Coleridge, and others, but Shelly most of all) helped me see the value of poetry.

  • Can anyone analyze the alliteration, rhyme, meter, assonance, consonance and repetition or any other sound components that help the poem sound clear and concise.

  • @Awesomeoo100 No offense intended, but you didn't understand my post at all.

  • @maofas bizarre that you talk about rationality in poetry and then list keats and coleridge among your favorite poets. The British romantic movement was decidedly NOT rational.

  • @MaLeina6 Shelley WAS a great poet.. :P

  • The name "Ozymandias" is based on one of the names of Ramesses II.

  • @xcheesyxbaconx it was actually his wife, Mary Shelly, that wrote Frankenstein 

  • @xcheesyxbaconx sure Shelley wrote Frankenstein, but it was a different one to P.B Shelley.

  • I can tell that Shelley also wrote Frankenstein.

  • Nothing beside remains... except a white cadillac :)

    (Children of the lamp, a cooky to all who get it)

  • 8 people still worship ozymandias
