I'm an English teacher at William Blount High School in Maryville, Tennessee. We are located in East Tennessee, near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Knoxville. I teach sophomores (world literature), juniors (American literature), seniors (British literature), and Film Studies. On this channel you will find a combination of videos that I use in class (the playlists tab) and videos that I have recorded (the videos tab). I am recording the audiobook/teaching videos to use during the 2020 coronavirus quarantine and later for students who have been absent and missed the class.

    Scholars recently unearthed a first draft of this poem. Debate still rages as to what some of it meant: The Word is too much. With us, ladle and spoon For getting and sending, we lay paste; Our wowers’ Spittle we see in Nature; that is, hours. We have given our hearts a weigh; assorted spoons This Sissy that bears her bosom (!) to them moons The winds that will be bowling at all ours And are up: gathered like sleeping towers For this, for everything we are cartoons. It moves a snot. Great! God? I-drat!-her be A Vegan! Cycled on some greedy outboard So mighty, I, standing on, dyspeptically Have glimpses that would make me less for Loren; Have site of Protein, rising from the sea Of hear a tritone, blown on wretchèd horn

    This was a really helpful summary of the poem! The context was especially helpful :) I'm going to sound like a huge nerd about the next bit: I want to say that the fact that Keats is writing near the time of his death, I think that the Imagery of the cow is really important because it shows that even though in reality the cow is probably dead from the sacrifice, she gets to live on in the urn so in a way her story, spirit and existence isn't *gone* it is just expressed in a different form? The title is really interesting as well because normally with Odes you would title it either "Ode to a..." when dedicating an ode to a specific object or sometimes "Ode on..." when writing an ode about a specific emotion or feeling. So, the title "Ode on a Grecian Urn" Is incredibly specific and it creates this idea of that he could be looking at all of these Urns in awe as he tells the stories about them in this Ode. I have more to say but I don't know how to phrase it very well and also I don't want to dump my whole thought process in your comments hehe!

    Poets should either make their poems rhyme; or not. When they try to do both the poems lose their flow.

  • @chelan444
    @chelan4443 ай бұрын

    Rhyme schemes are poetic techniques and are used for all sorts of reasons. Yes it sounds nice when a poem rhymes completely but that can sometimes be its surface value. For this instance I think it characterises the different images that are captured by the Urns and how different their lives would have been if that makes sense. The inconsistent rhyme could also reflect the inconsistency of life in general because we all know that Romantics hate the establishment and what not. Another thing to keep in mind is that this was written a long time ago and English dialects and pronunciations have changed so there are instances where things would have rhymed back then but don't in then 21st century. Anyways, sorry to nerd on you here, but I hope this is helpful!

    continuous is a 3 syllables word if the /u.ə/ in the final position are seen as more of the diphthong /uə/ rather than the two seperate vowels /u.ə/; so, instead of pronouncing it as /kənˈtɪn.ju.əs/, pronounce it as /kənˈtɪn.juəs/.. specially that /ə/ is a very weak vowel to head a one consonant syllable..

    I was thinking the same, but it really is 9 syllables, I haven't found any reference transcribing the last two syllables as a dipthong. Your pronunciation is more suitable for the third person present simple "continues". In iambic tetrameter it is allowed to break the structure a little bit, the important thing is to begin with an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one.

  • @chelan444
    @chelan4443 ай бұрын

    I have a theory to help answer this If you are still looking for an answer. I think saying "on" instead of "to" shows that the images are physically ON the Urn itself and not a memory or something that isn't physical. It personifies the whole poem by giving it this physical entity if that makes sense. Alternatively it could have been done in a sense of admiration. Keats admired the Urns and wanted to replicate this sense of capturing these moments in a tangible sense, so he attempts to mimic the feeling of sealing a moment in time with his poetry.

    Great God, if I was of a time of old, before Christianity, I would summon the Gods of the Sea and flood this place. Pagan is old earth religion, before Christianity, which, took, at the "Council of Nicea 325", Pagan beliefs and adopted them for Christianity so that people would transition easier to the new belief system. Or something like that, I'm rusty. Thank you for asking. Eight lines the Wiccan (Pagan) rede fulfil, ye harm none, do as ye will. Blessed Be.
