Many poems from the romantic period focus on feelings, nature, and the way the human mind works. In the poem "Ode on a Grecian Urn" John Keats focuses on all of those things. This poem is a good example of the ideas and works of the writers of the romantic period.
             In the first stanza of "Ode to a Grecian Urn", Keats is talking to the urn. He talks about how the urn is silent and victim to slow time. The urn has an untouched quietness. The urn sits there motionless, but yet it expresses wonderful thoughts and emotions. Keats asks the urn what the images are on it what are they feeling. In the second stanza Keats shows that the imagination is worth more to you in the long run then the sweet sensation to the senses. He talks about two young lovers that are stuck beneath a tree and can't leave. He says that the man can never kiss his beautiful lover but that instead she will stay looking young. In the third stanza Keats makes it sound like he likes this one the most and that this scene would be trapped in happiness forever and will always be enjoyed. Musicians will always play their songs without getting tired and there is no goodbye to spring. In the fourth stanza the priest is leading a cow and the townspeople to a sacrifice. They are going to sacrifice the cow all dressed in flowers. All the people are leaving the town and will never be able to return again. It will be deserted forever. In the fifth and final stanza Keats is once again talking about the urn. Keats explains that the urn will last forever and when this generation is gone, the urn will still be here in the present.
