Dear Diary,
Last week I had a chance to visit an Ancient land. I had a very strange experience because there I saw a statue which had only two large legs without the upper part of the body. It was, in fact, a broken statue in the middle of the desert. I tried to find the face of the statue which I found lying near it, half-buried in the sand. The face was broken but the expression of sneer and cold command could easily be seen on it. One could easily make out that the person must have been cruel and arrogant. Then my eyes fell on the pedestal on which the name ‘Ozymandias’ was written. Perhaps, he had got his statue carved as he wanted the world to remember him even after his death without realising that time does not spare even the ‘king of kings’. Even the statues carved out of marble get shattered. But still man gets them carved to immortalize himself. Ozymandias was an arrogant man who forgot that pride hath a fall. The ‘king of kings’ could be seen by anyone in a ruined state.
