Explanation:

“Ode on a Grecian Urn” by John Keats is an expression of the idealistic classical Greek art that portrays Greek virtues. These expressions find its place beautifully in the form of a lyric poem or the ode. Here, a particular subject is addressed and written in an irregular metre.

The “Ode on a Grecian Urn” fulfils four requirements which are –

First, the poem is written in a formal style: Keats composed it in a series of stanzas. Each stanza has ten lines and follows a specific rhyme structure and scheme. He has even used a highly symbolic language and has described art in a way that’s unimaginable.

Second, the poem includes a theme: It narrates about two important scenes. In one, it shows how a lover is pursuing its beloved without fulfilment. In the other, it shows a sacrifice that is to be performed by some villagers.

Third, the poem is addressed to something: the poet addresses to an ancient Grecian urn and describes the series of designs he observes there.

Fourth, the poem expresses emotions: the fascination of the poet regarding the timelessness and haunting beauty of the art is expressed beautifully.
