In the fourth stanza of his poem 'Ode on a Grecian Urn', John Keats describes the little town as empty; the streets are 'silent' and it is 'desolate' of people.
Every single person who lives in the town is heading to a sacrifice since it is a holy day, but no one is left in town to inform the protagonist of this.

Read the excerpt.


Who are these coming to the sacrifice?

To what green altar, O mysterious priest,

Lead’st thou that heifer lowing at the skies,

And all her silken flanks with garlands dressed?

What little town by river or seashore,

Or mountain-built with peaceful citadel,

Is emptied of this folk, this pious morn?


Why is the little town empty in these lines from Verse IV of “Ode on a Grecian Urn” by John Keats?


The people are all farmers who are tending their cattle in the fields.


 

The people were sacrificed by priests of conquering armies.

In this passage from Walden, what analogy is Thoreau using?
zloy xaker [14]

Henry David Thoreau was an American essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, and historian, two of his greatest works are: "Resistance to Civil Government" (also known as "Civil Disobedience") and "The Mask of Anarchy". His ideals can be summarized by this statement: “the Government should not have more power than the bestowed by its citizens”.

Henry David Thoreau was even imprisoned for refusing to pay taxes in protest for the Mexican-American War and the slavery.

In this passage from Walden,  Thoreau the analogy is:

He is comparing life to a moving train

Here we have the evidence to support the analogy:

Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off the track by every nutshell and mosquito's wing <u>that falls on the rails.</u>
