Which phrases in this excerpt from "Ode on a Grecian Urn" by John Keats suggest that the urn represents everlasting art?

O Attic shape! Fair attitude! with brede

Of marble men and maidens overwrought,

With forest branches and the trodden weed;

Thou, silent form, dost tease us out of thought

As doth eternity: Cold pastoral!

When old age shall this generation waste,

Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe

,

Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou sayst,

"Beauty is truth, truth beauty, – that is all

Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."

Basically, the entire poem is about how the urn is an eternal teacher of history and of the world that it has seen, and of the world illustrated in it. The whole poem is about the urn being an everlasting art, but to be more specific, the 6th and 7th lines from the excerpt above express how the urn shall and will remain forever. Those lines say that when the people of this generation grown old and die, the urn will stay as it is -- beautiful and true.
