Oztmandias vs. Ponder...

    The key similarity presented between the two poems is clearly time. The differences presented by the authors reflect and focus on the  appreciation for antiquity, as well as the despair for the 'decay' aspect  that arises through time for Ozymandias, where as Ponder, darling these busted statues showcases time as a privilege that is beautiful to experience and is best to be utilized in a 'Carpe Diem' attitude. Both author's reveal the same underlying message that time is something to be appreciated, and utilized.
