W H Auden Rhyme Scheme
1,376 wordsPeter Kivy opposes the idea of Formalism as the basis of how to determine what an art is. He deems that representation is the significant part of determining art because without meanings and representation words have no value.

Ode On A Grecian Urn Rhyme Scheme
897 wordsJohn Keats brilliantly uses poetic form and descriptive language to attempt to evoke interest in an inherently uninteresting subject, as well as support a hidden agenda, with his poem, Ode on a Grecian Urn.

The title of the poem, Ode on a Grecian Urn seems at first innocuous and meaningless, but when analyzed at greater depth, sinister m...
