Expansion of ideas -BEAUTY IS TRUTH. TRUTH IS BEAUTY

BEAUTY IS TRUTHTRUTH IS BEAUTY.

 That is all you know on earth and all you need to know. From this statement Keats tells that the real beauty is truth and nothing more andtruth alone is the beautiful one.
This philosophical statement means that the real beauty of a thing lies on its permanence and that there is only one ultimate beauty in this world is truth which never perishes. The remaining, though they seem to be beautiful, is not really beautiful as they are perishable.

This statement is found in the poem - Ode one a Grecian Urn - written by John Keats. He sees two pictures on the two sides of an urn. On one side there are young lovers and musicians and on the other side a number of pious people go to make a sacrifice at a green alter. In the end of the poem, Keats says that the Urn gives this message to humanity - BEAUTY IS TRUTH. TRUTH IS BEAUTY. That is all you know on earth and all you need to know. From this statement Keats tells that the real beauty is truth and nothing more and truth alone is the beautiful one. The beautiful objects that we consider so of this world such as flowers are not really beautiful. Even the works of art, though they seem to be imperishable become perishable later or sooner and so they are not really beautiful. So, the ever-remaining truth alone is the real beauty and the others may change and pass. So we should pay more attention to the core beauty rather than to physical beauty.
