Ozymandias

Today, I read a poem named Ozymandias. It is a very famous poem. In the poem “Ozymandias”, there is a very important word “passion”. Passion is a noun, and it means a powerful emotion such as love, joy, hatred, or anger. There are some synonyms of passion which are fervor, fire, zeal, and ardor.

Passion is an important word in the poem. It is help to connect the sentences, and it is also help the readers to understand the poem. From line six to eight in the poem, the poem poses some difficult words to understand, but the readers also can find the connection between them. For example, the "passions" on the poem of Ozymandias' surface delineate on both hand and heart, and it gives some transitive verbs whose object is "The hand" and "the heart" to help to understand. From line eight “The hand that mocked them" seems to be the sculptor's hand, explaining the vainglory of Ozymandias’ subject in "these lifeless things”, and "the heart that fed" may be Ozymandias' own feeding. In the end of the line eight with an ellipsis which is "and the heart that fed [them]". The readers can find this ellipsis from “the hand that mocked [them]” because there is an invisible relation between them. Those same passions are the referent of the pronoun "them" controlled by "mocked".
