Identify The Poem Part 2 Quiz
Identify The Poem Part 2 Quiz invites you to spot lines that have shaped English poetry. In 1817, Percy Bysshe Shelley was inspired to write Ozymandias after reading about the British Museum’s acquisition of a broken statue of Ramses II from Egypt. The news coverage caught the public imagination, and Shelley, along with his friend Horace Smith, each wrote a sonnet on the same topic. Shelley’s version, published in The Examiner in 1818, became one of the most enduring meditations on power and decay. It’s interesting how such a major poem grew from an 1810s news item. Poems often begin with something small. If you enjoy the thrill of a famous poem quiz or love spotting iconic lines, this could be a perfect start.
