The qustion is,What does the quote "Beauty
is truth, truth beauty...that is
all" supposed to mean?
it's the famous line from the
poem "Ode On a Grecian Ern"
by John Keats.
I think quote stuck out at me
most because you can interpret
it how you like and how you
want to. If you think of the
word beauty in isolation then
it can be defined in terms of
looks – the celebrities you see
on the television don’t look
like that when they get out of
bed in the morning, they
require time, effort and money
with make up and hair stylists
in order to convey to the
world their take on what
‘beauty’ is. Beauty can also be
defined in terms of your body
– the million and one diet
programmes, pop ups, videos,
magazines that you see aren’t
there for the fun of it, but
because people take it
seriously and believe that
doing that will grant them
with beauty. Beauty may also
be defined in terms of
intelligence - although this is
much rarer. The beauty and
art of being able to understand
the complexities of the world
and using this gift to propel
yourself in your life career.
What else can beauty be define
as? Love? Friendship? We may
decide that Beauty isn’t about
yourself solely, but with the
people around you and that
having those people in your
life will help fulfil you. Is this
beauty?
What I found about this quote
is that the use of the word
‘truth’ can uncover all of these
definitions that beauty might
hold. I interpreted this quote
as beauty is being true to
yourself. Although it is easy to
conceal the negative things in
your life, and the things you
don’t want other people to
know about, to do this to
yourself mean’s you lack
strength in your own body. If
you know who you are – if
you really know – then I
believe this constitutes as
upholding the gift of beauty.
I guess there are two parts of
this quote and I believe that
they do differ slightly in
meaning.
‘Truth is Beauty’ – If you are
truthful to yourself, in what
you goals are, in how you feel
about yourself and what you
want. In relationships and
love. Then does this mean you
hold beauty within you? With
this part of the quote it is the
quality of truth that is initial
and beauty that comes as a
consequence.
‘Beauty is Truth’ – This differs
in the way that you need to
gain beauty through the
aspects you believe will fulfil
you and once you have these –
you are true to yourself. Both
of the parts of these quote
work together to reveal that it
isn’t our dress size or the way
we look that composes the
definition of beauty – however
cheesy that may sound – but it
is being true to yourself as an
individual and how you
function in your every day life.
If you aren’t truthful to
yourself then who can you be
truthful to?
