Correct Answer:
C. Ode on a Grecian Urn;
Explanation:
The correct answer is Ode on a Grecian Urn. In this famous poem, John Keats explores the relationship between art, mortality, and eternity through the depiction of figures on an ancient vessel. The poem concludes with the philosophical statement that beauty and truth are identical, asserting that this realization is the only essential knowledge required by humanity. While other odes like To a Nightingale explore themes of nature and death, it is the Ode on a Grecian Urn that specifically defines the enigma of truth and beauty as a singular, unified concept.
