Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss eighteenth century 'vase-mania'. In the second half of the century, inspired by archaeological discoveries, the Grand Tour and the founding of the British Museum, parts of the British public developed a huge enthusiasm for vases modelled on the ancient versions recently dug up in Greece. This enthusiasm amounted to a kind of ‘vase-mania'. Initially acquired by the aristocracy, Josiah Wedgwood made these vases commercially available to an emerging aspiring middle class eager to display a piece of the Classical past in their drawing rooms. In the midst of a rapidly changing Britain, these vases came to symbolise the birth of European Civilisation, the epitome of good taste and the timelessness that would later be celebrated by John Keats in his Ode on a Grecian Urn.WithJenny Uglow Writer and Biographer Rosemary Sweet Professor of Urban History at the University of LeicesterAndCaroline McCaffrey-Howarth Lecturer in the History of Art at the University of EdinburghProducer: Eliane GlaserReading list:Viccy Coltman, Fabricating the Antique: Neoclassicism in Britain 1760–1800 (University of Chicago Press, 2006)David Constantine, Fields of Fire: A Life of Sir William Hamilton (Phoenix, 2002)Tristram Hunt, The Radical Potter: Josiah Wedgwood and the Transformation of Britain (Allen Lane, 2021)Ian Jenkins and Kim Sloan (eds), Vases and Volcanoes: Sir William Hamilton and his Collection (British Museum Press, 1996)Berg Maxine, Luxury and Pleasure in Eighteenth-Century Britain (Oxford University Press, 2005)Iris Moon, Melancholy Wedgwood (MIT Press, 2024)Rosemary Sweet, Grand Tour: The British in Italy, c.1690–1820 (Cambridge University Press, 2012)Jenny Uglow, The Lunar Men: The Friends who Made the Future (Faber and Faber, 2003)In Our Time is a BBC Studios Audio production

In 1819, John Keats quit his job as an assistant surgeon, abandoned an epic poem he was writing, and focused his poetic energies on shorter works. What followed was one of the most fertile periods in the history of poetry, as in a few months' time Keats completed six masterpieces, including such celebrated classics as "To Autumn," "Ode to a Nightingale," and "Ode on a Grecian Urn." Now, two hundred years later, an American scholar has written an exciting new book called Keats's Odes: A Lover's Discourse, in which she gathers and revisits the Great Odes, viewing them through a personal prism. Anahid Nersessian was born and grew up in New York City. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, and has taught at Columbia University and UCLA. Her first book, Utopia, Limited: Romanticism and Adjustment was published by Harvard University Press in 2015, and her second book, The Calamity Form: On Poetry and Social Life, by the University of Chicago in 2020. She lives in Los Angeles, CA.

What is a poem worth? What does beauty do to the person who wants it, or to the person who makes it? Michelle A. Taylor joins the pod to talk about Patricia Lockwood's poem "The Ode on a Grecian Urn," a wild and funny and ultimately quite moving poem (which is also, obviously, a riff on Keats's "Ode on a Grecian Urn").Michelle A. Taylor is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Emory University's Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry. Michelle is a scholar of 20th century literature, and more specifically, literary modernism. She is currently finishing her first book, tentatively titled Clique Lit: Coterie Culture and the Making of Modernism. Her academic essays have appeared in, or are forthcoming from, Modernist Cultures, College Literature, Modernism/ modernity Print+, Literary Imagination, and Modernist Archives: A Handbook, and she has also written essays and reviews for The Point, Post45 Contemporaries, The Fence, Poetry Foundation, the Financial Times Magazine, and The New Yorker. She received her PhD in English from Harvard in 2021, and from 2021 to 2023, she was the Joanna Randall-MacIver Junior Research Fellow at St Hilda's College, Oxford.If you like what you hear, please follow the podcast and leave a rating and review.

My three favorite quotes are Psalms 24:7 because I love Jesus and for me, He is the King of Glory 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  The other is John Keats 'Ode to a Grecian Urn' , "Beauty is truth, truth beauty - that is all ye know on earth and all ye need to know". I'm a design snob.  And finally, "Some day we will be free to go and do what we want to be". Because free.

In this second episode from my latest book High Five! The William Shakespeare Beat is Back I'll offer examples of what can happen when you revive the 5-beat line (and ONE, and TWO, and THREE, and FOUR, and FIVE) that the world's greatest verse writer used in all his plays. Reviving Shakespeare, you also revive Keats, whose six great odes are mostly in iambic pentameter, as well. I wrote a half dozen original odes to emulate those of Keats, and then I wrote another 7 to prove it wasn't just luck. Here I'll give you samples from both groups. First, for context, the opening stanza of Keats' most famous poem, “Ode on a Grecian Urn” (p. 30 of my book). Then, the samples. From Group One: 362 (1) Ode on Weather Theater 363 (2) Ode on Verse Pedagogy 367 (6) Ode on Words New-Wrought From Group Two: 376 (2) Ode on a Shmurah Matzah 377 (3) Ode on Dead Languages 380 (6) Ode to a Cup

Join us on this Apple Seed BITE as we listen to a Robin Schulte story about small, every day moments that become sweeter over time. Each of us has moments in our life that live on forever as we remember them and record them, much like the images on a Grecian Urn.

Rafe goes solo this week to discuss John Keats' Ode on a Grecian Urn.  In it we learn that all we know, and all we need to know, is that Beauty is Truth.  The discussion takes a trip through the symbols in the poem and how the Things of Old are passed down through time to us and how those things help align our souls to seek the ultimate Good.Along the way, we bump into our old friends Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle and discuss their influence on Augustine and Aquinas.  We wrap up with the Carpe Diem  admonition from the 1980's movie Dead Poet's Society and discover that Keats' Grecian Urn and the old photos in DPS both speak to the present from the past, encouraging us to align ourselves with the Good and seize the day."Gather ye rosebuds while ye may."

Second in our series on the odes of John Keats is Ode to a Nightingale, in which Keats imagines a journey into the realm of negative capability, a concept introduced in our previous episode on Ode to a Grecian Urn. Keats hears a nightingale's song and it inspires him to ponder such questions as, what makes an ideal artist? How might we access the world of artistic creation? How does art unite humanity across the ages? Wes and Erin discuss whether artists, however inspired, can escape the anxieties of a potential audience.

For several episodes now, Phil and JF have been circling what St. John of the Cross called the Dark Night of the Soul, that moment in the spiritual journey where all falls a way and an abyss seems to crack open beneath our feet.

As a master magician, long-time meditator, psychotherapeutic counsellor and writer on spirituality and the occult, Barford is uniquely endowed with the tools, experience, and language to discuss even the most difficult spiritual topics with wisdom and warmth.

Borrowing from Buddhism the concept of the “near enemy”, we consider how art, history, and psychology may look like magick but can harm our magical practice, exploring: the danger of the near enemy; pity as the near enemy of compassion; art, history, and psychology as near enemies of magick and their detrimental effects; the difference of this approach from Lionel Snell's approach in SSOTBME; philosophy as a current near enemy that was once synonymous with magick; art as the most insidious near enemy of magick; the legitimate role of art in magick; beauty versus truth; Keats's “Ode on a Grecian Urn”; magicians who are artists: Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, and Tommie Kelly; how art and magick can be synonymous; art as a disguise for magick; the different intentions and skill sets of art and magick; Phil Ford and J.F. Martel on M. John Harrison's The Course of the Heart, and Harrison's response to this; Philip K. Dick as a gnostic writer and Harrison as an imitator of Gnosticism; Socrates's expulsion of the artists from Plato's Republic; my view of history as irrelevant to magick; the roots of my view in chaos magick and Perennialism; defining Perennialism and distinguishing it from Traditionalism; the value of different and multiple paths to truth; the tendency of the historical perspective to situate truth in the tradition rather than in personal experience; the value of tradition as a path to personal experience; psychology as a near enemy and my personal vulnerability to it; the spirit paradigm versus the psychological paradigm; how the psychological paradigm is likely to produce only psychological results; the different dimensions of truth: subjective and objective; the psychological paradigm as possibly occluding the objective dimensions of truth; Jung and the objective dimensions of the psyche; the subjective and objective dimensions of the mind in meditation, and psychology's pathologizing of the objective dimensions.

The first question I have is in regards to the title. It's not an ode to a Grecian urn; it's an ode on a Grecian urn, which would indicate, at least on the surface (no pun intended), that there is an ode on the actual urn. The poem begins as an ode should, with an apostrophe, the act of speaking to someone not there, or to an object, such as an urn, which means either the urn is speaking, unlikely even in a poem, or the poet is translating a picture on a Grecian urn into an ode.As I continue reading, however, it's obvious the poet is speaking to the Urn about what's on the urn; it is, therefore, both an ode on a Grecian urn and an ode to a Grecian urn. The title, I'm guessing, is “Ode on a Grecian Urn” in order to emphasize the painting on the urn and not the speaker of the poem.“Ode on a Grecian Urn” by John Keats describes a perfect scene of beauty and peace sprinkled with philosophical truths regarding Truth, Beauty, and Eternity. The scenes on the urn are frozen in time, frozen in their perfect form, as only an artist, or a poet, could depict them. Keats asserts, “Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard / Are sweeter” (11-12). Music exists in perfection only in art. Any attempt to replicate it lessens its beauty. He writes of “happy, happy boughs! that cannot shed / Your leaves, nor ever bid the Spring adieu” (21-22). In the perfect world, youth, synonymous with beauty, can only exist in the artist's mind. As it progresses, it loses its perfection. The final stanza concludes the poet's thoughts with an eternal suggestion that perfection exists, Beauty exists and “that is all / Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know” (49-50). In other words, learn that perfection exists and don't worry about figuring out the rest.TakeawaysThis poem might be too good to teachIf you teach it, teach it to a class that knows how to annotate and analyze a poemI don't understand how or why Keats' poems elevate my soul“Ode on a Grecian Urn” blog postJohn Keats' Poetry: “Ode to a Nightingale” Analysis and “Ode on Melancholy” AnalysisAn Overview of British Romanticism and the English Romantic PoetsPoetry Collections at ELACommonCoreLessonPlans.com

My favorite costume dramas of last year are back with sophomore seasons, and they're the slowest of slowburns. Will Charlotte get over the loss of Sidney and finally find someone in Sanditon who appreciates her? Will Anthony Bridgerton marry for love or family? I've thrown in one of my favorite slowburn screen romances, inspired by the love of poet John Keats for artist Fanny Brawne. This is slow but incendiary love — the opposite of instalove, but sexy and romantic all the same.  (CW: film clips contain spoilers!)Many thanks to Kristina, JM and Jack for buying me a coffee and supporting the show. If you like what you hear and want to support the show, send me a little tip here.https://www.confessionsofaclosetromantic.comMovies/TV ShowsBridgerton has been a runaway hit on Netflix for good reason: excellent direction, crisp editing, emotional scripts, stunning costumes and sets, exceptional ensemble acting, incredible pop/classical music, and a wonderfully diverse cast. Oh and the wigs! Insane hairdressing. Sanditon is based on the final unfinished Jane Austen novel. It's a fresh, modern adaptation and a costume drama lover's dream. Rose Williams as Charlotte Heyward is the central jewel of the excellent ensemble cast. Her friend Georgiana Lambe, played by Crystal Clarke, really comes into her own during this season.This is a somewhat odd trailer for Bright Star. The overall mood of the film is more elegiac — stark and darkly romantic, which better suits the story. This scene, a bit longer in the film, is one of my favorites and represents the mood of the movie best to me.BooksBridgerton is based on the romance series by Julia Quinn.My college seminar instructor would rap my knuckles because Keats' poem is actually called Ode on a Grecian Urn. You can find more of his famous poems here. Keats' life was tragic but also prolific, full of romance, friendship and beauty.Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/poppyconfesses)

Today we're exploring 9 different ways that looking at art can make you a better writer.  Throughout the ages, looking at art has been a unique way of finding inspiration and creativity. If you go as far back as the Greeks, you can find examples of writing inspired by art, called ekphrasis, which means “a literary description of or commentary on a visual work of art” Art is a frequent source of inspiration for many writers and poets over the centuries. John Keats' “Ode on a Grecian Urn” is a famous example and William Blake said that poetry and art are ‘ways to converse with paradise'. But how does this work for us, mere mortals with a keen interest in improving our creative or reflective writing? In this week's episode I'm exploring 9 ways looking at and discussing art can make you a better writer.

Giai đoạn Một B. dịch từ bản gốc tiếng anh Phase One viết bởi Dilruma Ahmed Khi em để cửa tủ lạnh mở đêm qua, tôi tha thứ cho em. Khi em khẩn khoản cầu xin những tấm màn trắng thay vì sống cuộc đời của em. Khi em gieo hạt cây con, nay đã nảy mầm trong những chiếc chậu bé tí xíu. Tôi tha thứ cho em. Khi em nói 'Không' rôi đổi thành 'Có' sau một chút nghĩ suy. Tôi tha thứ cho những viễn cảnh khủng khiếp em vẽ sau khi sinh con, vì quá nhiều đêm mất ngủ. Và khi bé con thức giấc liên tục, lời khiển trách âm thầm của em trong bóng tối: 'Cái quái gì với con vậy?' Tôi tha thứ cho em. Khi em để dây leo chiếm cứ hết khu vườn. Khi em sợ hãi thiêng hướng yên thương của chính mình. Khi em lại làm mất túi xách trên đường về từ San Francisco; Khi em, cũng với bấy nhiêu đó lơ đễnh, lái chuyến xe quay lại chạy hoàn toàn bằng caffeine. Tôi tha thứ cho em khi em để cửa sổ mở toang, trong mưa, và làm ướt sũng mấy cuốn sách thư viện, lại một lần nữa. Khi em chỉ đưa ra những suy xét cũ xì đã được kiểm duyệt gắt gao thay vì những sự thật rối rắm. Tôi tha thứ cho em. Khi em chỉ thường hát lúc tiếng vòi hoa sen nhận chìm giọng hát em. Khi em mê mẩn người chơi trống mà không hề nghe thấy điệu trống. Trong những chiếc lon thiếc bị lãng quên mong sự tha thứ đong đầy. Chảy theo đường máng xối. Phun ra từ ống nước. Một cơn mưa trái olives đều đều từ những cành nhánh, nhẹ nhõm khỏi những tàn nhẫn và nhỏ nhen. Cùng với nó, xôn xao đập cánh, mười ba con bồ câu xám. Thuốc mỡ để dành cho những người lành lặn và các nhà tiên tri. Tôi tha thứ cho em. Tôi tha thứ cho em. Khi em thấy ngại ngùng và căng thẳng không vì một lý do gì. Khi em cam chịu "chiếc bình rỗng của Keats" bình tĩnh đến mức làm em lo lắng liệu rằng, mình có chút tiêu chuẩn đạo đức nào không. Khi em quẳng cho mẹ sự khinh thường, trong khi bà đáng nhận lòng trắc ẩn. Tôi tha thứ cho em. Tôi tha thứ cho em. Tôi tha thứ cho em. Khi em nuôi một tình yêu lớn mà có lẽ, tương xứng vô cùng với nỗi cô đơn trong em. Khi em không thể tha thứ cho chính mình trước tiên để em có thể tha thứ cho người khác sau đó và cuối cùng là tìm cách để trở thành tình yêu mà em hằng mong nơi thế giới này. -- Tôi tha thứ cho em, cho tôi, và cho phần tôi hay tự khiển trách mình. B. -- *'Chiếc bình rỗng của Keats' là hình ảnh trong bài thơ Ode on a Grecian Urn của John Keats - một phép ẩn dụ khả dĩ cho cái đẹp (beauty), sự thật (truth) và bản chất hữu hạn của mọi điều, bao gồm cả cuộc đời con người.

It's late summer and time for a short hiatus, so I will be replaying a few of my most popular programs in the next few weeks (and after that, the least popular, with the hope that they might find some rekindled interest).  Today's program is about poems written about other works of art. Such poems are part of a long literary tradition called the “ekphrastic tradition” and they provide a different perspective on how we might experience works of art generally. The program includes a brief literary history of the form, including comments about Homer's The Iliad, Keats' “Ode on a Grecian Urn,” and Pictures from Brueghel by William Carlos Williams. It also includes my translations of ekphrastic poems by three Lithuanian poets as well as two of my own ekphrastic poems.

John Keats (31 October 1795 – 23 February 1821) was an English poet prominent in the second generation of Romantic poets, with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, although his poems were in publication for only four years before he died of tuberculosis at the age of 25.[1] They were indifferently received by critics in his lifetime, but his fame grew rapidly after his death.[2] By the end of the century he had been placed in the canon of English literature and become the inspiration for the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, with a strong influence on many writers; the Encyclopædia Britannica described one ode as "one of the final masterpieces". Jorge Luis Borges called his first encounter with Keats's work an experience that he felt all of his life.[3] It had a style "heavily loaded with sensualities", notably in the series of odes. Typically of the Romantics, he accentuated extreme emotion through emphasis on natural imagery. Today his poems and letters remain among the most popular and analysed in English literature. Especially acclaimed are "Ode to a Nightingale", "Ode on a Grecian Urn", "Sleep and Poetry" and the sonnet "On First Looking into Chapman's Homer".Bio via Wikipedia See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Value of Honesty

What's good friends. This week we get down with getting back into the swing of "the poetry world." We also sat down with Rick Barot and got taken all the way to school. He dropped so much knowledge on art and the body and the state of contemporary American poetry. Hurry up and listen already! RICK BAROT was born in the Philippines, grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, and attended Wesleyan University and The Writers' Workshop at the University of Iowa. He has published three books of poetry with Sarabande Books: The Darker Fall (2002); Want (2008); and Chord (2015), which was a finalist for the LA Times Book Prize and received the 2016 UNT Rilke Prize, the PEN Open Book Award, and the Publishing Triangle's Thom Gunn Award. Barot is the poetry editor of New England Review.  He lives in Tacoma, Washington and teaches at Pacific Lutheran University.  He is also the director of The Rainier Writing Workshop, the low-residency MFA in Creative Writing at PLU. His fourth book of poems, The Galleons, will be published by Milkweed Editions in Spring 2020. THOSE WINTER GIN AND TONICS:  What did we know, what did we know of a gin and tonic's potential to be a winter cocktail? Nothing! (Until we invented this version). The addition of Amaro Averna and fresh blood orange give the refreshing G&T you know and love some deeper bitter notes and a blink more sweetness. The title of the drink alludes to the famous, heartbreaking sonnet “Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden. Ingredients: Gin (we used Seattle-based Big Gin), Tonic Water, Amaro Averna, Blood Orange REFERENCES: "Archaic torso of Apollo" by Rainer Maria Rilke; "Ode to a Grecian Urn" by John Keats; “Styrofoam Cup” by Brenda Hillman; Las Meninas by Diego Veláquez; "An A to Z of Theory: Roland Barthes and Semiotics" by Andrew Robinson; The Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry & Poetics; "At the Fishhouses" by Elizabeth Bishop; VIDA

Michial Farmer converses with David Grubbs and Nathan Gilmour about John Keats's poem "Ode on a Grecian Urn." After some conversation about the formal innovations of this and other Keats odes, the crew digs into the strong Platonic strains of the poem, its place in the larger phenomenon called "Romanticism," and the poem's particular ideology of art and life. Among the ohter realities we take on are elegiac poetry, ekphrasis, whether the urn ever existed, and the ashtray outside of the University of Georgia English department.
