Explanation:

Ozymandias is a sonnet penned by P. B. Shelley. The sonnet was written when the British Museum decided to bring the large fragment of the statue of Ramesses 2.

The sonnet speaks about the political power and the hubris of Ozymandias. The irony in the poem is that no matter how powerful one is, pride always brings despair.

The use of imagery by Shelley in the sonnet helps to visualize the fragments of statue. The head of the fragment of the statue lies half-buried in the desert. The statue has two large trunkless legs and stands in the wilderness.

Imagery is a literary device that is used to help the readers visualize what the author is perceiving while writing the text.
