The Beauty Between the Ephemeral and the Perpetual: Aesthetic Reflections in Keats' “Ode on a Grecian Urn” and Leopardi's “Wild Broom”
The following paper aims to approach, in a comparative and hermeneutical way, the poems “Ode on a Grecian Urn” (1820) by John Keats and “Wild Broom Or the Flower of the Desert” (1836) by Giacomo Leopardi, focusing on the literary pairing of ephemerality and perpetuity. Based on the comparison of lit...

Based on the comparison of literary resources, imagery and recurrent topics that construct these pairings, we hypothesize that, while Keats deals with a relatively imperishable object, Leopardi composes his canto about a flower that will eventually die; beauty is presented differently, depending on whether it is something eternal and ideal or a less monumental and more fleeting beauty. Based on a poetic analysis and a theoretical contribution, we intend to compare the different aesthetic considerations which are inherent in each poem and author. El siguiente trabajo nos proponemos abordar comparada y hermenéuticamente los poemas “Oda a una urna griega” (1820), de John Keats, y “La Retama o la flor del desierto" (1836), de Giacomo Leopardi, centrándonos en el binomio de efimeridad/perpetuidad. A partir de la comparación de los recursos literarios, las imágenes y las temáticas que construyen estos binomios, hipotetizamos que, mientras Keats versa sobre un objeto relativamente imperecedero, Leopardi compone el canto sobre una flor que eventualmente morirá. La belleza se presenta diferencialmente, según se trate de algo eterno e ideal o de una belleza menos monumental y más fugaz. A partir del análisis poético y del aporte teórico pretendemos comparar las diferentes consideraciones estéticas inherentes a cada poema y autor. Universidad Nacional de Córdoba.
