What does the repetition of the phrase for ever suggest about the image on the vase? What does the repetition of the word happy suggest? Based on the poet's diction, what is the tone of the passage?

Keats repeats the words “for ever” to show that the image on the vase never changes. By contrast, “On Seeing the Elgin Marbles” suggests that nothing lasts forever; according to the poem, even art is subject to the “rude / Wasting of old Time.”

“I felt happy because I saw the others were happy and because I knew I should feel happy, but I wasn’t really happy.” Roberto Bolano, 2666; Four repetitions of the word “happy.” But every time the word is functioning in different ways. He feels happy. Others feel happy; He is being forced into happiness (is he actually happy?)

passage express calm or quiet   meditative and admiring.

1. The Image Is Timeless And Unchanging

2. The Speaker Admires The Couple's Joy

Explanation:

I Did It On Edge :)

based on the biblical principle philippians 4: 13 "i can do everything through christ who strengthens me." i agree that it is through him that we are given the strength to cope with every situation.

and based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32 "better to get angry slowly than to be a hero. better to be even-tempered than to capture a city."   i agree with the author of the passage to the extent that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are contemptuous, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and make sure to not hurt other people and their feelings are strong people.
