I have do to a comparison and contrast on some poems. I know I want to do either Ozymandious or The World Is Too Much With Us. Do any of you have suggestions on good poems to compare either of them to?

Kipling's "Recessional" might be good to compare/contrast with Ozymandias. Both tell of the decay of human greatness; Shelley's poem of a long past greatness, Kipling's poem a prophecy of the decay of a greatness that, when the poem was written, was at its height.
"Inisfree" might stand a comparison the the Wordsworth sonnet. Both poems relate to escape the materialistic life, but the solutions are somewhat different.

Thanks for your time. Innisfree seems like it would work.
