Hi John,

Something from John Keats around 1819, while contemplating a Grecian
Urn (could work while contemplating anything for that matter):

"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."


Nothing new to us MOQers, I am sure it has been already quoted
numerous times in this forum.

Cheers,
Mark
