    Ode on a Grecian Urn This was a strange poem because of the word form and how the words were used. Getting the hang of what was going on was a little tricky. Keats’s elegant style is very interesting and unique, but made for a bit of a challenge. In order to see a clear opinion on the mood of the poem I reread it to try and connect and see it as he saw it. When I read the poem, I could see the importance of the urn and the actions that are portrayed in it. The descriptive wording that Keats uses

    Analysis of John Keats Ode to Autumn My initial reaction to this work evoked a taste of wanting to taste the fruit of season. The poem, Ode to Autumn, also reverted me back to my years of early reading when I read “The Secret Garden”. I am enamored by the way Keats almost makes me see the fruit and vines. Reading about the symbionic relationship that takes place between the sun and the changing season is awe-inspiring; as it relates to the reaction or the beauty that is created based on that relationship

    Ode to a Grecian Urn In the early 19th century it was not unusual to make a work of art, painting or sculpture a subject of a poem. Taken literally, the poem 'Ode to a Grecian Urn' is a poem about a vase, but Keats has inverted the traditional understanding of physical, tangible objects and transformed them into metaphors for abstract concepts, such as truth and time. An urn is primarily used to preserve the ashes of the dead. The theme of the Ode, accordingly, has to do with the relationship
