Thou still unravished bride of quietness, Thou foster child of silence and slow timeSylvan historian, who canst thus express
A flowery tale more sweetly than our rhyme:
What leaf-fringed legend haunts about thy shape
Of deities or mortals, or of both,
In Tempe or the dales of Arcady?
What men or gods are these? What maidens loath?
What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape? What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy?
John Keats, „
Ode
on
a
Grecian
Urn
” (1820)Slide5
Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on;
Not to the sensual ear, but, more endeared,
Pipe to the spirit
dities
of no tone.
Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not l
eave Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare; Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss,
Though
winni
n
g near the goal --- yet, do not grieve;
She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss
Forever wilt thou love, and she be fair! Slide6
O Attic shape! Fair attitude! With brede Of marble men and maidens overwrought, With forest b
r
anches
and the trodden weed;
Thou, silent form, dost tease us out of thought
As doth eternity. Cold Pastoral!
When old age shalt remain, in midst of other woeThan ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say’st „Beauty is truth, truth beauty” --- that is all
Ye know on earth, and all you need to knowSlide7

MottoSlide11
What kind of narrator is the bowl? Why is „his” perspective innovative?
Does
the
bowl
have a gender? Compare Nikki and Rosa! How would
you
describe
Rosa’s „
relationship
”
with
the bowl? Who is Marius? Why is he called a lugal? Why is he interested in art? How is Odile? Why is she the bowl’s favourite collector? Group workSlide12
