उत्तर
The partially destroyed statue of Ozymandias conveys that everything is transient on this Earth. Neither the might of a king nor the work of art outlives the tides of time. Human beings are insignificant to time and no matter how great or powerful one is in one's lifetime, one meets the same fate as other human beings.
