“Ode on a Grecian Urn” By John Keats
The grecian urn, passed down through countless centuries, exists outside of time, in the human sense. ... The Grecian Urn is free from time, but at the same time, the pictures are simultaneously frozen forever, the plague that, all art must suffer. When the speakers generation is long gone and dead, the urn will propose similar questions to future generations, just as it did for him. The main debate that strikes the speaker is if it is better to be frozen in time with the eternal happiness of the urn, or is it better to be forever stuck with the same endless scene that will never change or see the future. The speaker attempts three times to understand the scenes on the urn, and each thought awakens a new idea for another question.
