boy is forever chasing her Keats writes Bold Lover never never canst thou kiss Keats says this is actually better than real life because their love will never fade As a picture on the urn and frozen in time the girl will stay fair beautiful forever and the boy will love her forever A Peaceful Village Scene In the next picture we see a quiet countryside with trees that never lose their leaves A man is playing a flute but we cannot hear the music Keats says the piper s unheard music is sweeter because we can imagine the song is perfect Keats says Heard melodies are sweet but those unheard Are sweeter A Religious Ritual The last picture shows people leading a young cow to an altar for a sacrifice A priest is there and a crowd has gathered from a nearby empty town The streets are silent because everyone is at the ritual But the cow will never be sacrificed the moment is frozen so the ceremony never ends Significance All these scenes are stuck in time The people never grow old the trees stay green and the music never stops even though we cannot hear it Keats loves this because art like the urn can capture beauty and joy forever unlike real life where everything changes or ends The urn s message is Beauty is truth truth beauty meaning these frozen moments hold a deeper truth about life s beauty
