Part 1–Shelley and “Ozymandias” create a short close reading of this poem, focusing on the question: What does the poem seem to be saying about power/tyranny (or perhaps who holds the real power)? You need not comment on every line of the poem, but should be engaging directly with the poem and its language and form. Part 2– Keats and “On Seeing the Elgin Marbles” After reading “On Seeing the Elgin Marbles” and “Elgin Marbles” In Context + Keats’s Death.pdf Reflect on the experience Keats and others had encountering something so beautiful, and choose something you’ve encountered (could be a place, piece of art, song, or any object really) that was so beautiful or Sublime as the romantics would say. For something to be sublime, it is so beautiful (or so terrifying) that it is hard to put into words. Share a picture or link (if it is audio/visual) of that object, like Keats’s poem, reflect on what emotions it stirs in your and why. This should include a couple sentences of reflection about Keats’s poem and the context reading, as well as your object and explanation. Additionally, share one phrase/or aspect of “On Seeing the Elgin Marbles” you found challenging or confusing. Part 3 Both poems (same poems from part 1 and 2 written by Shelly and Keats)were inspired or tied to an ancient artifact that is currently housed (and was housed then as well) in the British Museum. Shelly uses them to discuss the limits of power and the lastingness of art, while Keats uses the Parthenon Marbles (what they’re called now) to consider art and nature’s aesthetic beauty, as well as to reflect on his own mortality. Compare and contrast these poems’ uses of the ancient past and these artifacts in their discussions of mortality, legacy, and power (other things). Part 4 Finally Respond to Shelley’s claim that Poets (artists) are “the unacknowledged legislators of the world”. Create a 3 song playlist that would support this claim.

Ozymandias BY PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.” On Seeing the Elgin Marbles BY JOHN KEATS My spirit is too weak—mortality Weighs heavily on me like unwilling sleep, And each imagined pinnacle and steep Of godlike hardship tells me I must die Like a sick eagle looking at the sky. Yet ’tis a gentle luxury to weep That I have not the cloudy winds to keep Fresh for the opening of the morning’s eye. Such dim-conceived glories of the brain Bring round the heart an undescribable feud; So do these wonders a most dizzy pain, That mingles Grecian grandeur with the rude Wasting of old time—with a billowy main— A sun—a shadow of a magnitude.
