' nothing beside remains. round the decay of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare the lone and level sands stretch far away. once you have read the text, examine the following depiction of what the statue of ramses ii would have looked like during his reign. clearly, the sculptor of ramses ii and shelley have different perceptions of a ruler's power. in a short response of at least five sentences, describe their different perceptions. include at least one specific reference to each work in your response.
