Both of the passages share the same theme of the inevitability of death.
"On Seeing the Elgin Stone", John Keats asserts the mortality of man and that death is something man or in any case, anyone can avoid. Likewise, William Wordsworth also emphasizes the inevitability of death in his poem "Ode on Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood". Both poets from the same Romantic period describes how things will all meet their end, even things that are believed to be immortal will eventually fade away.

Answer:
Prejudice is displayed by several characters throughout the duration of the novel. Many people who live in Maycomb are racists and prejudiced against black people. For example, Tom Robinson is assumed to be guilty of sexually assaulting Mayella Ewell simply because he is a black man and she is a white woman, even when the evidence points to him being innocent. The court is astonished to hear that he felt sorry for Mayella, You felt sorry for her, you felt sorry for her? queries Mr Gilmer, the lawyer charged with proving Tom’s guilt. Many white people at court are shocked by Tom’s temerity in feeling sorry for a white person and from that moment on his guilty verdict seems inevitable.
Atticus believes in tolerance and equality, an attribute he would like Jem and Scout to inherit. However, his sister, Aunt Alexandra is different. The reader sees this in the way she treats Calpurnia. When Aunt Alexandra arrives at the Finch house to help take care of Jem and Scout whilst Atticus is busy with the trial, she tells Calpurnia to take her suitcase upstairs which is something Atticus would never do. During Aunt Alexandra’s missionary tea, the ladies of Maycomb feel pity for the Mruna tribe in Africa and show sympathy towards them but they later condemn the black people in their own community. This is severely prejudiced and hypocritical.
The Mruna tribe never actually existed. Harper Lee created the tribe in order to use it as an example of how hypocritical women like Mrs Merriweather can be. She is capable of showing sympathy towards the Mruna people for what she believes to be their squalid lifestyle but is unable to feel any sympathy for the black people living in Maycomb. Instead she claims the black people of Maycomb are lazy and sulky and does not understand their heartbreak at the result of Tom Robinson’s trial. Mrs Merriweather is more interested in the Mruna tribe as they are not Christians and believes white missionaries can save their souls by turning them into Christians and introducing them to the Bible.
Dolphus Raymond pretends to be continually drunk in order to avoid questions about the choices he has made in life. He is in a relationship with a black woman and has several children with her but he knows this would be severely frowned upon by others. He and his family are treated as outcasts. As Jem says of Dolphus’ mixed race children, They don’t belong anywhere. Coloured folks won’t have ‘em because they’re half white; white folks won’t have ‘em ‘cause they’re coloured... When talking to Scout, Jem and Dill during Tom Robinson’s court case Dolphus admits that he only actually drinks cola, commenting, I try to give ‘em a reason, you see. It helps folks if they can latch on to a reason. If the people of Maycomb think he is drunk, Dolphus believes they will leave him alone to lead his own life, however awful they feel it to be.
However, racial intolerance is not the only prejudice to be included in the novel. Many residents of Maycomb are presented as being narrow-minded and intolerant of anyone who does not conform to their expectations. Boo Radley is persecuted and gossiped about because he has not been seen outside his house since he was a teenager. Several of his neighbours believe he is a shadowy figure who only leaves his house after dark and neighbourhood gossip has resulted in Jem picturing Boo as a monster, Boo was about six-and-a-half feet tall, judging by his tracks; he dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch, that’s why his hands were blood stained...
