Ozymandias
The poem "Ozymandias" is about a traveler who tells the poet about the ruins of a statue in the desert of an ancient Egyptian king named Ozymandias. The traveler saw two enormous stone legs without a body and a shattered face half-buried in the sand, which still expressed a look of cold command. Inscribed on the pedestal were the words "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing remains of the king's mighty works - only the lonely desert sands stretch as far as the eye can see. The poem suggests that no matter how powerful a king may seem, time destroys all.

However, nothing remains of the king's works besides the decaying statue, as the lone and level sands stretch far away. The poem serves as a commentary on the impermanence of power and the inevitability that all earthly works will fade over time.

Poetry
Poetry is difficult to define as there are many perspectives on what it is. It can be described as the spontaneous expression of feelings, something that evokes emotion in the reader, or that which makes one laugh, cry or yawn. Poetry comes in many forms across history from ancient epics to modern experimental works. While some characteristics like economy of language and evoking emotion can be identified, poetry ultimately resists strict definition and is best experienced directly through reading works of poetry.

The interview seems designed to intimidate and exclude the candidate rather than fairly evaluate her suitability for the role.

Ozymandias
The poem "Ozymandias" describes a traveler's encounter with the remains of a statue in the desert. The traveler sees two enormous stone legs standing in the desert, with a shattered face lying nearby. The inscription on the pedestal reads "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look upon my work, ye Mighty, and despair!" However, nothing else remains of the king's once-mighty rule. Time has destroyed all evidence of Ozymandias' power and grandeur, leaving only endless, barren sands stretching as far as the eye can see. The poem mocks human arrogance and the fleeting nature of power and glory.

Landscape of the mind presentation final
Salman Tarik Kureshi is a Pakistani English poet. His collection "Landscapes of the Mind" portrays the experience of postcolonial displacement and personal betrayal through intimate connections between inner and outer landscapes. Kureshi seeks to establish these connections through jagged yet melodic poetry that both moves and disturbs readers. The collection contains 37 poems with many having geographical titles that reflect Kureshi's affinity for nature. Symbols like rivers and rain are used to represent unpredictability and the need for prosperity. Kureshi shows influence from Western poets like Browning, Hughes, and Eliot but establishes his own voice in depicting the landscapes of his mind.

- 5. Pride comes before a fall Discuss What this statement. does it mean? How could it relate to the poem?
- 6. Ozymandias I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand, Half sunk, a shatter’d visage lies, whose frown And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamp’d on these lifeless things, The hand that mock’d them and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal these words appear: ‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’ Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, The lone and level sands stretch far away. PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY
- 8. Pride comes before a fall How does it relate?
- 9. Statements - True or false The poem explores power and status. The poet admires Ozymandias. Ozymandias was once a proud, tyrannical ruler. The poem suggests we have all the time in the world. The poem is about legacies and what we leave behind after we die. The poet suggests that pride comes before a fall. The poem is about time and nature and how man cannot conquer either. Shelley suggests that art and language will outlast humans and other legacies of power. The reader is left to imagine the sculptor as well as Ozymandias’ character. It is ironic that it is the sculptor’s legacy that will last and not Ozymandias’ power.
