Why Do We Have to Title Everything?

I mean seriously... I spend more time trying to think of a title for these things than it does for me to actually write the blog. On a serious note though let's talk about Keats.

More specifically let's talk about that Grecian Urn. It kind of upsets me a little bit that the majority of things that I wanted to talk about we discussed in class but oh well I'll manage. When Mitchell asked me about the "unravished bride" in class I was trying to imagine a way to talk about it without bringing sex into the topic. It appears though that that was exactly what it was talking about. I know, I know everything goes back to sex and poop. As I sat thinking about it though how long is a girl an actual bride? Is she a bride only until she is married? Does she stay a bride a week or a year? The more I thought about it the more I was thinking that the real significant statement was made that the "bride" so to speak would just be a virgin until her marriage day. After they are married I no longer really think of a woman as his bride but as his wife.

"Foster Child of Silence and slow time" stood out to me because it makes it seem as if the remains inside the urn don't belong to silence and slow time. Which in my opinion is true because prior to the death of this person they were alive and full of energy. Which would lead me to believe that this person was valiant. When I think about the poem I imagine the person inside the urn as a great Greek warrior. I think of them going on many campaigns and then one day died defending his country. It makes me think that Keats is saying that he was adopted by silence and slow time because he was taken from his "parents" too early.

P.S. I commented on Kelsey's post
