Ode on a Grecian Urn & As I Walked Out One Evening

Both of these poems highlight the relevance of love in time. Love in time is represented differently in each of the poems to distinguish sincerity and attitude to love. Ode points to how love becomes frozen in time to make love everlasting and important. Love is treated as a action of worship and appreciation. This contrasts much to As I Walked Out One Evening's prevalence on the importance of love in the moment and seemingly rushing pace. It seems the attitude toward love is less sincere and more a desire for affection in the moment.
