The Grecian Urn as a "Foster Child" of silence



This line extract from Hellenistic Romantic poet John Keats's Ode to the Grecian Urn, foster child means Urn in the poem

The speaker addresses the Urn itself and the images on it. First, the speaker addresses the bright on the Urn. She is frozen in the time , has yet to be ravished so,she is still 'unravished'. In the next line the speaker addresses the Ure , calling it a 'foster  child of silence and slow time '. The artist who made the Urn is long gone because the Urn is ancient. So,  the artist is a parent of the Urn. Since the parent is gone, the child has become an orphan and has been adopted by time.

The Urn is all visual but no sounds emanating  from it , so it therefore 'silent'. The Urn is The foster- child of 'slow time' because having lasted so long  with its images  relatively unfaced and as time  that has slowed to point of stopping. To keats, the image on the Urn is frozen but they symbolised life. He tries to consider the Urn like we might consider a photograph.
