Sec<strong>on</strong>d Stanza<br />

-<strong>Urn</strong> is in state of innocence/unknown: parallels to<br />

lovers, the experience of c<strong>on</strong>necting to the art, and<br />

the "unravish'd bride"/"pipes" virginal image system.<br />

-Poem's speaker is like the Lover depicted <strong>on</strong> the urn<br />

and the "mad pursuit" in first stanza: both the urn and<br />

the female <strong>on</strong> the urn are pure and unattainable.<br />

Lover and speaker want to "attain"<br />

-<strong>Urn</strong>'s emoti<strong>on</strong>s are pure and perhaps not real: "She<br />

cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss"
