Question

Read the passage from "Ode on a Grecian Urn." Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leave Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare; Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss, Though winning near the goal—yet, do not grieve; She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss, For ever wilt thou love, and she be fair! Which theme does the passage most convey

Answer 1

Answer:

The ode speaks about symbolic inmortality.

Explanation:

In the first and second verse, the text compares youth to the trees, and implies none of them "can be bare", meaning they will last forever. It describes that the woman, the character lying beneath the trees, will be remembered through her "song".

The end of the poem speaks about her lover, and tells him not to grieve because "she cannot fade" and his love will persist even after death.
