I MET a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert ... Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage [face] lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which still survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Select one piece of evidence that supports the situational irony of the poem.

Nothing beside remains
I met a traveler
Sneer of cold command
Its sculptor well those passions read

The situational irony arises when the expected thing does not happen and the actual thing which happens is beyond the expectation. In the poem "Ozymandias" the phrase 'nothing beside remains' is an example of situational irony. In reality, the sculpture of Ozymandias was constructed to display the strength and never-ending power of the mighty king, but in reality, the sculpture had broken and have been ruined.
