Read the excerpt.

From “Ode on a Grecian Urn” by John Keats Ah, happy, happy boughs! that cannot shed Your leaves, nor ever bid the Spring adieu; And, happy melodist, unwearied, Forever piping songs forever new; More happy love! more happy, happy love! Forever warm and still to be enjoyed,

What is the best interpretation of these lines from “Ode on a Grecian Urn”?


The people depicted on the urn will become famous when people read Keats’s poem about them.

The leaves, the melody, and the lovers’ love are frozen in time.

Lots of people will get to see the beauty of the pictures because the urn is now on display in a museum.

The speaker will forever be enjoying the pictures on the urn.

Respuesta :

The leaves, the melody, and the lovers’ love are frozen in time

The leaves, the melody, and the lovers’ love are frozen in time.

The excerpt states that the leaves never fall or say goodbye to Spring. It also describes the melodist as "forever piping songs". These details show that the depictions on the Grecian urn are forever frozen in time. The seasons, melody, and lovers will never change since they are permanently painted. There is nothing in the excerpt to suggest that the people will become famous or that the urn is in a museum.
