Answer:

1. While life is fleeting, art has the ability to live on.

2. “When old age shall this generation waste, / Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe” (Lines 46-47)

Explanation:

The ode written by John Keats "Ode on a Grecian Urn" is a Horatian ode that the author used to present the theme of art as permanent in contrast to the temporary nature of human life. In this poem, the author talks about a "Grecian urn" that has a picture depicting man's daily life.

In the poem, Keats proclaims how art, as depicted in the urn, can be permanent and not fade like the love, life, and pleasures of humanity. He presents that while art has the ability to live on even after the death of a person, the "life" of man will pass with time. This claim can be best supported by the lines "When old age shall this generation waste, / Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe", suggesting that after old age destroys a man's life, the art on the urn will remain immortal, never affected by aging or time.
