Question

What message does Keats' "Ode on a Grecian Urn" convey?

A.

An urn is a relic and must be preserved.

B.

A work of art is a source of poetic inspiration.

C.

The Greeks were great patrons of art.

D.

A work of art immortalises youth and beauty.

Correct option is D

Explanation:

Keats' "Ode on a Grecian Urn" presents the idea that art captures beauty and youthful passion forever, contrasting the fleeting nature of human life with the timelessness of art.

Information Booster:

The celebrated lines, “Beauty is truth, truth beauty,” encapsulate Keats’ Romantic ideal. The urn’s frozen scenes represent a world immune to change, decay, or death—a timeless ideal available through art.

Additional Knowledge:

(1) and (2) touch on aspects of the poem, but the main philosophical message centers on immortality in art.

(3) is background context, not the ode's focus.
