Answer 2

In this excerpt from “Ode on a Grecian Urn” by John Keats, parts which reflect the theme that art is immortal are:

2.ye soft pipes, play on

4.nor ever can those trees be bare;

7. She cannot fade

9. Forever wilt thou love, and she be fair!

The effects of decay and erosion are survived by the urn and the images on it are frozen in time, therefore the poem exists as long as the readers read this poem. The poem can be passed orally or can be written, therefore, it is immortal. Keats suggests the value of immortality. He says that the melodies are heard for a temporary moment, whereas it's sweeter melodies are there to imagine anytime and cannot fade away.

Keats suggests that things do not live as they speak, similarly the lover's kiss each other always , but they never do. Keats shows multiple images which are frozen in time and immortal being not alive but stays in imaginations forever.
