In The Canterbury Tales, the pilgrim guide requests each pilgrim to tell four stories.

The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer, after having introduced the pilgrims the narrator apologizes for the offense possible a reader might take from the tales. He then returns to the story about the night he spent with the pilgrims.

The host of the tavern welcomes the pilgrims and proposes the pilgrims to tell the story while traveling as it would be boring to travel in silence. Further, the narrator adds that hoping not to argue with the host the pilgrims agree immediately over the host's proposition.

Therefore, the host lay out the plan that each pilgrim will be telling two tales while going to Canterbury and two tales while return from there. As a result, in reward, the most meaningful story will receive a paid meal fro rest of the pilgrims on the way back.

Which phrases in this excerpt from ode on a Grecian urn by john Keats suggest that the urn represents everlasting art

gladu [14]

If this is the excerpt:

Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard 
Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on;
Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear'd, 
Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone: 
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!

Then the part that reflect the theme that art is immortal is

Though winning near the goal yet, do not grieve;
She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss,

It implies that there is no need for grieving because She cannot fade. She will last for a long time.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The final stanza of "Annabel Lee" is as follows:

For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side

Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride,

In her sepulchre there by the sea—

In her tomb by the sounding sea.

As we can see, both stanzas depict a dream-like moment that is both romanticized, in terms of love, as well as somber, even macabre. Both excerpts convey the idea that the speaker's loved one is no longer here, but in an ethereal world, beyond this one. The speaker is somehow haunted by the memory of that person, eternally incapable of letting go, forever trapped by that love. That memory may cause them happiness as well as sorrow, but that is of no relevance. It is suffering anyway. Not being able to let go, not being able to move with their own lives, both speakers are destined to suffer.
