The person who created the sculpture did not think highly of Ozymandias.
What evidence from the text supports this conclusion?
Two vast and trunkless legs of stone / Stand in the desert...Near them, on the sand, / Half sunk, a shattered visage lies
Round the decay / Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare / The lone and level sands stretch far away.
And on the pedestal these words appear: / 'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings
its sculptor well those passions read / Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, / The hand that mocked them
