Ode to a Garden Urn

"Beauty is truth, truth beauty"


As I wrote about the simple garden urn whose presence gave grace and beauty to an empty passageway, I remembered the famous "Ode on a Grecian Urn" by John Keats.

I was enchanted by the concept of describing the frozen scenes on an ancient urn when I studied this poem in high school.

Here is an online link to the poem.
