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

Nothing beside remains

Explanation:

I looked it up and situational irony is irony involving a situation in which actions have an effect that is opposite from what was intended, so that the outcome is contrary to what was expected.

Here, the story basically is that there used to be this king called Ozymandiaz (he was actually Pharaoh Ramses II), who was powerful back in his day, and assumed his descendants would be just as great so he built a statue of his for the generations to come to show his greatness off, saying, “My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

However, today the statue is destroyed and the top half is blown off, with the head, sneering, is half sunk. The pedestal with the message looks rather awkward and hence the situational irony, because the grand message is in ruins.

nothing but remains
