Ode On A Grecian Urn
<view this essay>.... This leaves the reader feeling a sense of sweetness about the pipers melodies.
When a writer uses the dictionary definition of a word it is called denotation. Keats speaks of "timbrels" in the tenth line; it should be expected that the majority will not know what that word means.
Keats uses connotation to add more passion to his writing and emotion to his words. His use of connotation is concurrent with imagery in the last line of the third stanza when he writes, "A burning forehead, and a parching tongue."
