The expression was that of agony—the agony of intense bodily pain; but a menace scowled upon the brow, and a few sprinklings of

blood added to its ghastliness. Yet it was not all these characteristics—it was some horror of the mind, some inscrutable antipathy awakened by this picture, which harrowed up my feelings.

When Ozymandias ordered the words to be inscribed on the statue, what did he mean by "Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair"?
slamgirl [31]
Ozymandias thought so highly of himself that he had this statue built with that inscription to intimidate anyone who might come near it. He meant for it to be a warning to not try and invade or attack, the despair part is meant to be the person despairing because they could never be as great as Ozymandias. 
The meaning is twisted though, as the statue crumbles with time showing that all leaders -- especially those who value themselves so highly--will fall.
