Ozymandias vs. Ponder, Darling, these busted statues...

Both ozymandias and ponder,darling, these busted statues deal with the issue of time. For instance, Cummings quote "momentary" exemplifies how he wishes or individuals, such as "your - and - my -", to live in the moment and take advantage of everything. He states this to illustrate how "time" is momentary and goes by in a second. In addition, Shelly's makes the connection of "time", in her poem by analyzing the downfall of her king's "kingdom". She displays how the king's kingdom failed to rise up to the expectations of a progressing comity, therefore "time" is what ruined her kingdom. Shelly expresses how individuals should not waste any moment in ones life and to take full advantage of what time offers because it is precious.
