From the Paper:

"Always is as scary a word as never. That phrase relates to the theme of Keats' "Ode on a Grecian Urn," which is an exploration of the border between desire and fulfillment in human life. Keats' "Ode on a Grecian Urn" features a narrator musing upon the face of an urn that holds, for him, more life in its earthenware curves than does the curves of the temporal earth. The title itself reflects the reader-response reading of the urn's text: the ode is on (about ) the urn, and the ode is also depicted on the urn."
