A Grecian Urn.

I loved, loved, loved this poem.

Mainly because I know what those moments are that you want to capture forever, and I really wish I could just bottle them up. But I know that that is impossible, and if you could do that, that would be the death of the immortal moment. I think Keats wrote this poem when he was really trying to, I don't think he was on opium and just happened to make something that is so logically written. I do think he might have started that story so he could make some more money, because people are more likely to buy something that they think has a story like that behind it, but I don't think he was really high on opium. My favorite line was the second stanza when he was talking about being able to say something, without saying words at all. If you can tell your girlfriend she is beautiful by just looking at her, that is the most meaningful thing every. I think this poem is beautifully written, definately not opium inspired. Overall, this was my favorite piece we have read so far.
