प्रश्न
Did the sculpture of Ozymandias fulfil the purpose for which it had been built ? Give reasons.
उत्तर
Ozymandias while building the sculpture expected the future generations or posterity to remember him for his works and to respect him. He expected them to to be in awe of him and to speak good of him. He believed that he would be immortal and would continue to live in the minds of the people due to his splendid works. However his dreams were never fulfilled as his works were all destroyed with the passage of time. In the pedestal it had been engraved:”Look upon my works ye mighty and despair”. However nothing beside remains except the boundless sand. All his works had perished. He forgot the eternal truth that time spares none, not even the king of kings.
