The poet John Keats once wrote (in his poem "Ode on a Grecian Urn"),
Beauty is truth, truth beauty,---that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
By contrast, Plato (in The Republic) warns of poetry's power to make a falsehood seem true, by beautifying it.
What, then, is the relationship between beauty, as achieved by the artist, and truth?
