(1788-1824)“Ode on a Grecian
Urn”Thou still unravish'd bride of
quietness, Thou foster-child of silence
and slow time, Sylvan historian, who canst
thus express A flowery tale more sweetly

In Tempe or the dales of Arcady?
What men or gods are these? What maidens loth?
What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape?
What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy?
