Wonderful essay. And indeed as Keats predicted 200 years ago the magnificent Grecian Urn sits on display in the Archaelogical Museum in Athens.Its leaves have not shed. Its youths remain young with their song still heard fresh in the soul.
Thanks. I've always felt that because the ode was "on" the Grecian urn, that the poem was more about the ode frozen in time on the surface of the vessel, than merely declaring the subject of the poem.
Thanks for all that. I always felt that introducing a fallen and shattered urn was a worthwhile tangent for Keats to have explored.
