Ode To The West Wind And Ozymandias

To me, the connection between Ozymandias and Ode to the West Wind is the importance and the power Nature has. Nature is endless, itdoesn’t matter who we are in life, if we are important people or just a simple person, as human beings, we are mortal, and Naturecan erase us easily.
In the case of Ode to the West Wind, the lyric speaker realizes the power of the Wind, so he asks Him tolisten to him and carry his messages, but at the end he wants the Wind to be his friend, he realizes that he can’t do anything to changethings without the Wind’s help. In the case of Ozymandias we have a similar issue: Ozymandias was a powerful person, the King ofKings!, but nothing remained of him, nothing but his legacy.

The image I liked the most was the part “Make me thy lyre, even as theforest is: What if my leaves are falling like its own! The tumult of thy mighty harmonies will take from both a deep, autumnaltone...”
I chose this image because I can see clearly this Aeolian instrument played by the Wind and carrying what the lyric speakerwants to say, and to me, it’s the main purpose of this poem, the idea of using the Wind (something that normally we don’t care or evennotice that exists) to send messages and in an artistic way, through an musical instrument, to me it brings me to another planet.
