Summary/Abstract: The paper offers a parallel reading of Keats’s “Ode on a Grecian Urn” and Larkin’s “An Arundel Tomb”. The close reading of some relevant sections of Keats’s poem (particularly the last two lines) tries to show that the poems mutually read each other and, moreover, they offer a better understanding of the two poet.
