![]() Then I really botched line seven, saying first: That still exist, which is just pedestrian, and which yet endure, which is also not as powerful as what Shelley wrote, since it doesn't keep the beautiful, hissing, desert-wind s sound alive. I then recited, lies a shattered visage, which of course is much less powerful than writing, a shattered visage lies, which builds suspense because you have the impact of the shattered visage first, and only then do you find out what it's doing, (or not, as the case may be). How shocking and raw to write trunkless here. Later I made the mistake of reciting, the vast and lifeless legs of stone. But to so antique land.oh, how sublime that word choice. For instance, if he had started the poem: I met a traveler from an ancient land, or even worse, far away land, how generic the intro would be. It took me a day, and all the time I was getting it wrong and substituting words that were close, but much worse than what he wrote. You really don't fully understand what a towering masterpiece this is, until you try to memorize its deceptively simple 14 lines. ![]() It goes from statue, to a story told to a traveler and then to Shelley's poem living on long after the desert turns the statue to dust. Though time breaks down, decays, and changes the meaning of the statue, it survives. Yet, though changing art is still imortal. Now many years later this statue has a completely different meaning that the artist did not intend or even contemplate. When the sculptor made this statue he was attempting to create a statue that evoked fear, awe and wonder. Unlike Shelley's friend Keats who sees art as an unchanging cold pastoral (see Ode to a Grecian Urn), Shelley sees art and it's meaning as something that changes even after it leaves the artists hand. I think this poem is about the sculptor that made the stutue and the mutability of art. I don't think this poem is about Ozymandias at all. I like this poem but I think I like The Raven better. The most important goal this year is to keep the lines of communication open between us.I also came here because of Breaking Bad.
