Beauty Is Truth

Natural beauty of nature Is like a beautiful damsel. She needs no makeup or perfume To enhance her physical beauty- Her beauty is truth, period. An anonymous wildflower Growing with delicate fragrance Beside a forests time-worn path Can’t be anymore lovelier If plucked and placed within her locks; Nor her comely grace be improved. Their “beauty is truth, truth beauty” Apart they are most beautiful; In concert they accent the whole. On a Grecian urn: “Beauty is truth, truth beauty” All we need to know.
