Ode on a Grecian Urn
"Ode on a Grecian Urn" is a poem written bu the English Romantic poet John Keats in May 1819 and published anonymously in the January 1820, Number 15 issue of the magazine Annals of the Fine Arts (see 1820 in poetry).
The poem is one of several "Great Odes of 1819",which include "Ode on Indolence","Ode on Melancholy", "Ode to a Nightingale", and "Ode to Psyche". Keats found earlier forms of poetry unsatisfactory for his purpose, and the collection represented a new development of the ode form. He was inspired to write the poem after reading two articled by English artist and writer Benjamin Haydon. Keats was aware of other works on classical Greek art, and had first- hand exposure to the Elgin Marbles, all of which reinforced is belief that classical Greek art was idealistic and captured Greek virtues, which forms the basis of the poem.
