By: John Keats

Ode on a Grecian Urn

Picture of couple almost kissing

• Immune to age/change
• No fights
• No loss
• They stay in that perfect moment of love
• Leaves will never fall
• She'll always be fair
• BUT town will always be empty
• Art: love never fades, stays perfect...COLD
• Life: change, WARMTH
• Warmth or cold?

Ode to a Nightingale

He is too happy

Escape through WINE

• drink to forget
• leave the painful world
• escape

Escape through IMAGINATION

Escape through DEATH

Do I wake or sleep?

To Autumn

Drowsy, lazy; without much care
