Romantic Poetry Post

1) Imagination is usually always represented in Romantic poetry. Imagrey is used in the poem, but i would not consider the poem to be only focused around imigination. The descriptions provided of the various places in the poem are very well written, which creates imagrey for the reader. The poem transitions from somewhat of a "happy" place to that of an "dark" place. The poem was written based on Coleridge dreams. I also believe that the poem is ment to warn readers not to desire and want to much. He does not want people to have wild imaginations, and for people to not get so lost in their dreams, so that they won't forget about reality.

2) In Ozymandias, I believe there to be three main speakers. The speakers are the main speaker, the traveler, and, and the leader/King. The main speaker was nothing but a narrator to tell the story. The main speaker told the story of the "traveler" and he journey through the old city and ruins. The King otherwise know as Ozymandias was a very self centered ruler who only cares about himself, and is ignorant to everybody's wants and needs. The poem is about how a King wants to much, and because of his ignorance his kingdom fell.
