"Beauty is truth, truth beauty", - that is all
We know on earth, you truth, but you enthrall
My soul, and if you know, I am in pain,
Forsake me not, I call you, come again:
The world is weird, but try not to escape;
You are not shadow, are you not the shape?
With you I find delight in my despair.
For ever fair is foul, and foul is fair.
But what is fair and free is also frail;
Beware themselves the grain, the grape, the Grail.
Truth is the beauty, beauty is the blow;
That's all we know and all we need to know.
