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.

@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.

Very good reading and excellent video. Loved the whisper of the great king and warlord! And the cosmic hints in the beginning video. Great!
