Ode on a Grecian Urn
|
|
|
... In this poem, “the Ode on a Grecian Urn”, it is the perfection of beauty as art - transfixed and transfigured forever.
Instead of looking to nature for idealized beauty in “Ode to a Grecian Urn”, Keats turns his attention to man-made art for inspiration. It is the moment frozen in time on the side of the urn which constitutes the immortality and profound beauty which Keats had earlier discovered in the nightingale. ... This theme is developed in Ode to a Nightingale and Ode on a Grecian Urn, both in which he strives to find the perfect everlasting beauty in art and nature, but is only confused by the true essence of his subjects; for a bird must die and an urn must crumble and are but symbols of things imagined.
