Which word supports the meaning of decay?

round
colossal
wreck
bare

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 shattered visage [face] lies, whose frown,
and wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
tell that its sculptor well those passions read
which still survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
the hand that mocked 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.

Wreck.

Explanation:

In this fragment from Percy Bysshe Shelley´s Ozymandias, the sculpture that lies in the sand, that told of Ozymandias´ great exploits and enterprises, lies bare and forgotten, telling the traveler of that colossal WRECK, of time that passes, forgetfulness, decadence, and decay, that which awaits us all, regardless of our stature or greatness.

domain – some domains such as .com, .org, and .net can be purchased and used by any individual. however, the domain .edu is reserved for colleges and universities, while .gov denotes a government website. these two are usually credible sources for information (though occasionally a university will assign a .edu address to each of its students for personal use, in which case use caution when citing). be careful with the domain .org, because .org is usually used by non-profit organizations which may have an agenda of persuasion rather than education.
