Detailed explanation-1: -The title of Ian Stewart’s book (he has written more than 60 others) is, of course, taken from the enigmatic last two lines of John Keats’s “Ode on a Grecian Urn": “Beauty is truth, truth beauty, "–that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know. But what on earth did Keats mean?
Detailed explanation-2: -’Beauty is truth, truth beauty, -that is all. Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know. ‘ In other words, beauty is all we need in order to discover truth, and truth is itself beautiful.
Detailed explanation-3: -According to John Keats a thing of beauty is a joy of forever. It is a constant source of happiness and pleasure. Its loveliness increases every moment. It will never pass into nothingness.
Detailed explanation-4: -’Truth’ is precise, undisputable and objective. Also, though this would have various applications and connotations, depending upon situations and persons, the essence and core would be the same. This is the beauty in the entire concept.
Detailed explanation-5: -The poet concludes that the urn will say to future generations of mankind: “’Beauty is Truth, Truth Beauty. ‘ – that is all / Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know". Critics have debated whether these lines adequately perfect the conception of the poem.
