“Truth is beauty, beauty truth.”

This famous line is taken from the poem "Ode on a Grecian Urn" by John Keats, a poet of the Romantic era.

In this poem, Keats reflects on the eternal nature of truth and beauty. According to him, truth and beauty are inseparable — what is true is always beautiful, and what is beautiful is always true. In a world of decay and mortality, only truth and beauty endure forever. This idea comforts humans against the fleeting nature of life.
