In the poem Ozymandias the narrator meets a traveler whom tells him of a statue with only legs on the pedestal, the body long gone.  The traveler says that the head with a gruesome expression on its face is buried in the sand of the dessert in which the traveler and narrator are standing.  On the pedestal there is writing that says that the man whom the statue once resembled was mean yet extremely important. Ozymandias may have once been a great king or thought he was a king.  The traveler looked at it and thought Ozymandias was a jerk.  It just shows that as time changes one's view of how you lived changes as well.
