Which parts of this excerpt from "ozymandias" by percy shelley reflect the theme that art alone can last forever? "half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, and wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, tell that its sculptor well those passions read which 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 decay of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare the lone and level sands stretch far away."

 "Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things"

This section is the one that supports the theme that art alone can last forever. Shelley states that the sculpture's face lies shattered, half sunk in the sand. However, you can still appreciate the frown, the wrinkled lip and the sneer of command that the face has. He tells us that this shows that the sculptor understood these passions well, and that his accurate and artistic depiction still survives.

there are several different forms of presenting this; each has a very specific format. plays have a very simple format; teleplays, for television shows, or screenplays, for movies, have more complex and strict rules for formatting.
