Intro

Time is an unstoppable force that defines human life, the idea of time and death are one of the most feared subjects known to man. Ozymadious and to an athlete dying young revolve around these two themes. However both focus on the idea of Time and Death, but both possess different conclusions on the themes. Ozmandias and to an Athlete dying young are both poems that focus on time and death, while Shelly illastrates how destructive time is, AE Houseman Surprisedly sees time (and death) as almost a gift to someone.
