ODE ON GRACIAN URN- JOHN KEATS

The given lines are from the verse form Ode on classical Urn, (1820), considered as one on the best flora of John Keats.

Hence it is a possibility that the urn, is actually not, what he describes it to be. Through the poem, readers only urinate Keats perception of the urn, as they have not seen the urn themselves. This furthers the fact that the poem is meant to be an ekphrasis on the urn, which is the graphic or a melodramatic description of the urn as a representation of art.

Thus truth or reality, by defining and describing the urn, enhances the original urn but to a fault helps it take a life of its own.
