Beauty is truth Truth is beauty

Beauty is truth Truth is beauty

Truth which never perishes

From my childhood, I am hearing

About beauty,

But I think always,

What is such beauty?


I am facing a lady,

I am saying that she is beautiful,

In poetic mind, I am not talking 

About her visual value, 

Of its form or its colors,

I speak what it transcends time 

And is capable 

Of seeing through language.


Here I remind

The statement Truth is beauty and 

Beauty is truth,

Which I found in the poem-

Ode one a Grecian Urn - 

Written by John Keats,

Who 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,

And in the end of the poem, 

Keats says 

That the Urn gives 

The message to humanity

-BEAUTY IS TRUTH. 

TRUTH IS BEAUTY. 

Here Keats tells 

That the real beauty is truth, 

And Truth alone is the beautiful one.


Truth alone is the real beauty and

The others may change and pass

And I pay more attention 

To the core beauty 

Rather than to the outer appearances,

As the real beauty of a thing,

Always lies on its permanence 

And naturality,

Which is ultimate beauty in this world,

Because truth never perishes,

And all other things,

May seem to be beautiful,

But is not really beautiful 

As they are perishable.
