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