Thou still unravish’d bride of quietness,…

When old age shall this generation waste,

 Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe

Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say’st,

 “Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all

  Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.”

Keats: Ode on a Grecian Urn

One of my favourite poems by one of my favourite poets, John Keats. The entire poem consists of five stanzas of ten lines each and is well worth reading in its entirety.

The urn in the image is an authentic museum copy.
