The opening lines of ' Grecian Urn ' represent the paradoxical thought of Keats as the is Urn is imagined by him both as a bride as well as a foster child of silence and slow time .The lines shock and surprised the reader the way Keats gives the double role to time .What is impossible in real life is made possible by the the poet in the world of art.
In Blake's "Chimney sweeper" of the 'songs of Innocence volume Blake refers a little Chimney sweeper who has lost his father and mother.His parents sold him to master Chimney sweeper . The Chimney sweeper cry 'weep','weep','weep' is a parody of child's mumbling of 'sweep'.The speaker in the poem is Chimney sweeper and his friend is 'Tom Dacre' curly hair and white hair is a generalized picture of morbidity suffered by the working class people in England in late 1780s.T he tersh reference of the unhealthy condition of factories and industries by the words like :"coffins Black"," Black","cold" etc .To which the Chimney sweepers like Dick ,Joe and Ned are easy victims.In this poem Blake's tone is tender and gentle.
