Alice Oswald on Keat’s Ode on a Grecian Urn

Listen to Alice Oswald read her gorgeous essay on Keat’s Ode on a Grecian Urn, quietness, reading, Beckett, poetic form, grief, writing, trauma, orality and breath, music, the Parthenon frieze, time, and Homer (BBC / Spotify).

It’s a pity there are so few recordings of Alice Oswald reading (I’m told it’s because she believes so passionately about poetry as a performative oral tradition that she does not allow recordings of her poetry readings)—I could literally listen to her all day.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0001xjk

From Fleur Jaeggy’s essay on John Keats in These Possible Lives:

Keats was overcome by sleep and [Joseph] Severn drew a portrait of Keats’s head on his pillow, eyes closed, face hollowed, a few curls glued to his forehead with cold sweat. Then transcribed Keats’s words, his last testimony. Severn was in the presence of a great poet. He may have been already thinking that one day he would be buried beside him. He’d been to visit the Protestant cemetery near the Pyramid of Cestius, its grounds were glazed over with violets and it seemed that Keats liked the spot. He said he would feel the flowers grow over him. Severn knew that violets were Keats’s favorite flower. He plucked for him a just budded rose, a winter rose. Keats received it darkly and said “I hope to no longer be alive in spring.” He wanted what he called in his last letter a “posthumous existence” to come to an end. Inscribed on his gravestone: “Here lies one whose name was writ in water.” His words are set into the stone as if on a mirror, touching everything and not touched by anything — strange asymmetry.

After reading the Jaeggy essay on Keats as outsider-mystic, I started reading Anahid Nersessian’s Keats's Odes: A Lover's Discourse, which offers a materialist and political reading of Keats. I thought about Anne Carson’s The Beauty of the Husband, a meditation on Keats and the nature of truth in relation to the beautiful but perfidious lover. (Such wildly divergent readings made me think that Keats is a kind of Rorschach inkblot that activates different parts of our psyches. Maybe all poetry is. Maybe that’s what Jaeggy is touching on when she describes Keats’s words as mirror.)

there’s something so beautifully ironic about reading literature about the follies of those who live lives of aestheticism, and then committing your life to that very same idea.

Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all /

Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.

ode to a faux grecian urn

Howdy everyone,

Today's house, built in 2001, comes to you from, you guessed it, the Chicago suburbs. The house is a testimony to traditional craftsmanship and traditional values (having lots of money.) The cost of painting this house greige is approximately the GDP of Slovenia so the owners have decided to keep it period perfect (beige.) Anyway.

This 5 bedroom, 7.5 bathroom house clocks in at a completely reasonable 12,700 square feet. If you like hulking masses and all-tile interiors, it could be all yours for the reasonable price of $2.65 million.

The problem with having a house that is 12,700 square feet is that they have to go somewhere. At least 500 of them were devoted to this foyer. Despite the size, I consider this a rather cold and lackluster welcome. Cold feet anyone?

The theme of this house is, vaguely, "old stuff." Kind of like if Chuck E Cheese did the sets for Spartacus. Why the dining room is on a platform is a good question. The answer: the American mind desires clearly demarcated space, which, sadly, is verboten in our culture.

The other problem with a 12,700 square foot house is that even huge furniture looks tiny in it.

Entering cheat codes in "Kitchen Building Sim 2000" because I spent my entire $70,000 budget on the island.

Of course, a second sitting room (without television) is warranted. Personally, speaking, I'm team Prince.

I wonder why rich people do this. Surely they must know it's tacky right? That it's giving Liberace? (Ask your parents, kids.) That it's giving Art.com 75% off sale if you enter the code ROMANEMPIRE.

Something about the bathroom really just says "You know what, I give up. Who cares?" But this is not even the worst part of the bathroom...

Not gonna lie, this activates my flight or fight response.

If you remember Raggedy Ann you should probably schedule your first colonoscopy.

Anyways, that does it for the interior. Let's take a nice peek at what's out back.

I love mowing in a line. I love monomaniacal tasks that are lethal to gophers.

Alright, that does it for this edition of McMansion Hell. Back to the book mines for me. Bonus posts up on Patreon soon.

“‘beauty is truth, truth beauty,’ – that is all / ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.”

everytime i remember this poem by john keats called 'ode on a grecian urn' from 1819, i remember the last lines above and i think of how every time crowley looks at aziraphale, its so genuinely pure. his expression is just an unadulterated warmth. and i keep thinking ever since crowley fell, how he had everything taken from him by heaven.

but when he came to eden and he looks at this angel, who had just given a sword up for good and who had sheltered from him from a storm — when all that is beautiful and truthful had disappeared from post-fall crowley, aziraphale was there to pick up the pieces. each and everytime, no matter the dancing around what they truly are, crowley looks at aziraphale and sees beauty. he sees all that is true.

he sees all that is there to know, all that he ever needs down here on earth. its always been aziraphale. in a way, aziraphale had become all that is stemmed to devotion for crowley. and he wouldnt have it any other way.

#good omens #good omens meta #good omens thoughts #aziraphale #crowley #ineffable husbands #azicrow #aziracrow #i just think that theres nothing more that warms my heart #to know that crowley deep down is an optimist who loves #and loves deeply truth and wonder and beauty #and he found all of it in aziraphale #its no wonder aziraphale was worth every joy and every tear and every heartbreak and that silence of love #theyre just everything to me

here is a list of different poetic forms that might help you get started if you’re feeling a bit stumped, unsure, or it might give you a challenge if you want to try something new! <3

Blank verse: Blank verse is poetry written with regular metrical but unrhymed lines, almost always in iambic pentameter.

Examples:

Villanelle: The villanelle is a nineteen-line poetic form consisting of five tercets (3 lines) followed by a quatrain (4 lines). There are two refrains and two repeating rhymes, with the first and third line of the first tercet repeated alternately at the end of each subsequent stanza until the last stanza, which includes both repeated lines.

Examples:

do not go gentle into that good night by dylan thomas

10 villanelle poem examples to study

Haiku: The haiku is of ancient Japanese origin. It usually contains 17 syllables in 3 lines of five, seven, five (though modern examples do not systematically follow that pattern). Haiku poems typically contain references to nature.

Examples:

Sonnet: Traditionally, the sonnet is a fourteen-line poem written in iambic pentameter, employing one of several rhyme schemes, and adhering to a tightly structured thematic organization. The two main types of sonnets are the following:

• Shakespearean (or English) sonnet: three quatrains (4 lines) and a couplet (2 lines). Rhymes are ABAB, CDCD, EFEF, GG

• Petrarchan (or Italian) sonnet: divided into two stanzas, an octave (8 lines) followed by a sestet (6 lines). Rhymes are ABBAABBA + CDECDE or CDCDCD

Limerick: A limerick is a form of verse, usually humorous and frequently rude, in five-line, predominantly anapestic trimeter with a strict rhyme scheme of AABBA, in which the third and fourth lines are typically shorter.

Examples:

Elegy: A melancholy poem that serves the purpose of a lament for or a celebration of a deceased person.

Examples:

Elegies, Book One, 5 BY CHRISTOPHER MARLOWE

Lycidas, BY JOHN MILTON

Because I could not stop for Death, BY EMILY DICKINSON

Ode: An ode is a lyrical poem that expresses praise, glorification, or tribute, with the subject matter being a person, event, or idea. Classic odes contain three sections: a strophe, an antistrophe, and an epode—effectively a beginning, middle, and end.

Example:

Ode on a Grecian Urn, by JOHN KEATS

Concrete poem: Also known as visual poetry, it is essentially poetry which is shaped in a certain way which adds to its meaning.

Found poem: Found poetry is a form of poetry in which you create a poem by cutting up, remixing, or otherwise transforming an existing piece of text. (you can use dialogue from the show/scripts?)

Blackout poetry: Blackout poetry is the process out taking an already existing piece of text and blacking out the words save for a few select ones that take on new meaning.

Beauty is truth, truth beauty

“Ode on a Grecian Urn” - John Keats / Mrs Dalloway - Virginia Woolf / “I died for Beauty - but was scarce” - Emily Dickinson / Arcadia - Tom Stoppard / The Left Hand of Darkness - Ursula K Le Guin

#web weaving #Emily Dickinson #John Keats #Virginia Woolf #Tom Stoppard #ursula k le guin #tlhod #mrs dalloway #Arcadia #quote web #poetry #honestly the Arcadia quote Bernard gives about rejecting science bc poetry is his truth is probably more on theme but also #that monologue is like. meant to be obviously flawed. and felt wrong to take out of the context of him being an asshole #also thanks Lucia for reminding me abt the tlhod quote :)
