Which two phrases in this excerpt from "Ode on a Grecian Urn" by John Keats suggest that the urn represents everlasting art? O Attic shape! Fair attitude! with brede Of marble men and maidens overwrought, With forest branches and the trodden weed; Thou, silent form, dost tease us out of thought As doth eternity: Cold pastoral! When old age shall this generation waste, Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe , Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou sayst, "Beauty is truth, truth beauty, – that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."

The idea of endless art is present in thou, silent form, dost tease us out of thought as doth eternity , and also in when old age shall this generation waste, thou shalt remain.

Answer:

When old age shall this generation waste,

Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe

Explanation:

In the excerpt from "Ode on a Grecian Urn," by John Keats, the speaker makes reference to the beautiful designs on the urn, which he considers immortal. In that respect, he believes the pictures painted on the urn -depicting love and a sacrifice- are eternal because time cannot change them. As a result, he acknowledges the urn will outlive his generation, thus keeping its art endless.
