"Beauty is truth, truth beauty," – that is allYe know on earth, and all ye need to know.That will be an interesting sentence to diagram. I hardly dare say the following, but I will say it anyway. Although I greatly admire Keats and his sensual poetry, I think this sentence, at least taken by itself, is simplistic. I'll write it off to hyperbole. Surely, religious people would say that there is material in the Bible or the Koran that "ye need to know". (And I am certainly glad that someone knows how to bake bread and brew beer.)
