Ozymandias 3.30 Essay
As we live our life we will do and achieve many things. Although our views on these achievements and how we want them to be remembered can vary from person to person. These desires can be displayed in the things that we do while we are alive. For example, we could be like Horace where in his poem Odes 3.30, he reflects how he believes that his work will be viewed positively. While Percy Bysshe Shelley says in Ozymandias, reveals that he believes that his work will be viewed negatively after he passes. Horace in his poem starts by stating that he has completed a monument that will last longer than bronze, greater than the pyramids which neither time, devouring rain, nor the raging winds, or even the passage of time will be able to demolish.
