What theme is emphasized in this excerpt from "ode on a grecian urn" by john keats?
heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard
are sweeter therefore, ye soft pipes, play on
not to the sensual ear, but more endear'd
pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone
fair youth beneath the trees, thou canst not leave
thy song nor ever can those trees be bare:
bold lover, never never canst thou kiss,
though winning near the goal yet do not grieve:
she cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss.
for ever wilt thou love and she be fair!
a.
only things that continually change are true
b. unfulfilled desires and dreams seem sweeter
incidents and events depicted in art are true.
c.
d.
art does not last forever only memory does
e.
incidents and events depicted in art are untrue

B. Unfulfilled desires and dreams seem sweeter.

Explanation:

This is most likely what the author meant in this stanza. In this excerpt, Keats talks about the Grecian urn he is looking at. He tells us that the piper is playing a song. However, we cannot hear it. The fact that the song cannot be heard makes it all the more sweeter, as our desire is left unfulfilled. Moreover, the girl that is portrayed will never be reached, but she will continue to remain young and beautiful precisely because of this. The author implies that things that are unfulfilled seem sweeter and more beautiful than those we do achieve.
