What is the personal response for "Ozymandias"?Is there alliteration, metaphor? Is the theme that pride goes before a fall?

I like the question and the comments by the previous poster, but I want to pont out some small details in lines 4-8 of Shelley's short poem "Ozymandias" that may indeed support the theme (or moral, or even cliche) of "pride comes before the fall." The poem describes the head of the statue of the long dead king (or pharaoh) as follows: 

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.

The poem states that the facial expressions on the statue capture the essence of the man whom the statue represents, and these facial expressions are hardly ones of humility, compassion, or anything else that we might see as the opposite of pride. In fact, that "sneer of cold command" suggests to me that the ruler was just about as full of himself as he could be, and the very order that a huge statue be erected in his honor (a statue showing that very sneer) is a sign of his excessive pride.

To end my post in a summarizing statement, as did the previous poster, I think it's possible to say that the statue's head fell and shattered because it was so huge and so high up -- much like the man represented by the statue, who built himself up so much ("king of kings," indeed!) that he had nowhere to go but down. For the record, I don't normally like reading literature for moral lessons or reducing the meaning of literary works to what often sound to me like cliches, but in this case, such an approach has some merit.

For a metaphor, what about the "big head" in the poem. The literal big head is the shattered "visage" of the statue; as metaphor, it might refer as well to the king's excessively inflated sense of importance.

For alliteration, there are a few more that haven't been mentioned. One line has a repeated "h" sound -- "The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed" -- and later lines have other repeated consonants: "boundless and bare" and "low and level." Alliterating words don't have to be right next to each other.
