In "Ozymandias" by Percy Bysshe Shelley, the phrase "decay of that colossal wreck" refers to the ruins of a once-mighty statue of the Pharaoh Ozymandias, symbolizing the inevitable decline of all leaders and empires. Despite Ozymandias's grand ambitions and the inscription proclaiming his greatness, the statue lies shattered and eroded, highlighting the transient nature of power and human achievement. This decay serves as a reminder of the passage of time and the futility of arrogance in the face of mortality and nature's forces.

Near them on the sand,Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frownAnd wrinkled lip and sneer of cold commandTell that its sculptor well those passions readWhich yet 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 decayOf that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,The lone and level sands stretch far away".

What does the word despair mean in Ozymandias?
The line from the poem reads "I am Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look on my works, ye mighty and despair." What Ozymandias intended, no doubt, was to impress all others, even the mighty, with his greatness, so that they would despair, or never have any hope of ever being as great as he was. But time has given the line a new and ironic meaning, for nothing remains of Ozymandias's works except "two vast and trunkless legs", and looking on them, the mighty may well despair, since no matter how great they may be, they can never hope for lasting greatness. Time will, in the end, destroy all their works.
