Innocence And Beauty Beauty Is Truth
1,122 words
Ode on a Grecian Urn John Keats portrays the theme
of eternal innocence and the sufficiency of beauty
throughout this poem. The Grecian urn, passed down
through countless centuries to the time of the
speakers viewing of it, exists outside of time in
the human sense it does not age, it does not die,
and it is alien to all such concepts. In the
speakers meditation, this creates an intriguing
paradox for the human figures carved into the side
of the urn: they are free from time, but they are

Castro-style communism x (Musicant 363), and

Mine Own Loves Fear Of Trust Line
519 words
This sonnet demonstrates Shakespeare's great
ability of playing with words. According to him a
person is tongue-tied when he has either too much
or too little to say. He illustrates his idea by
giving an example of an unperfect actor who
forgets his lines on stage and more curiously,
some fierce thing whose heart is weakened by the
weight of his own strength. This use of paradox
adds intensity to the sonnet and lays the
foundation for the following quatrain. The first
quatrain is like the silenc...
