What leaf-fring'd legend haunts about thy shape
Of deities or mortals, or of both,
In Tempe or the dales of Arcady?
from John Keats – Ode on a Grecian Urn on Rap Genius
Meaning
The deities or mortals are the gods and humans represented on the urn.
Both the (Valley of) Tempe and Arcady (Arcadia today) are Greecian regions, where the tale of the urn probably takes place.
