Truth is beauty, beauty truth

What fell from the sky of dreams were first ideas,

But the idea is waiting for the dream of the rock;

In a large and lustrous bowl of singing onyx

The flame blazed, astonished, with a tranquil chant;

When it reached the octave joining the fire

Idea turned into a deepening melody;

If the dream could have song of imagination

Beauty of truth would then clasp truth of beauty.

सत्यं सौन्दर्यं, सौन्दर्यं सत्यम्

स्वप्नकाशात् यत् पतितं तत् प्रथमविचाराः,

परन्तु विचारः शिलाया: स्वप्नं प्रतीक्षते;

गानगोमेदस्य विशाले तेजस्वी कटोरे

विस्मितः ज्वाला शान्तजपेन प्रज्वलितः;

अग्निं संयोजयन् अष्टकं यदा प्राप्तम्

विचारः गभीरतापूर्वकं रागरूपेण परिणतः;

यदि स्वप्नस्य कल्पनागीतं भवितुम् अर्हति स्म

सत्यस्य सौन्दर्यं तदा सौन्दर्यस्य सत्यं गृह्णीयात्।

    Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard

    Are sweeter; therefore, …

    Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all

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

    Beauty is truth, truth beauty— is an intense poetic-æsthetic experience, coming from the soul of Romanticism. But this equation is true only when there is the creative delight coming with the strength and force of the spirit in life’s dynamism.
