Keats' Eremite is a reference to am excerpt from a poem by John Keats. Keats wanted to take a blissful moment with his lover and store it way like a hermit hides from civilization, to make it last forever. Eremite is another word for hermit. So when Robert Frost says 'and steadfast as Keats' Eremite/ not even stooping from its sphere,' in the poem "Choose something like a star," he's describing the star's constant place in the sky for us to focus on in difficult times.
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty,"--- that is allThe imagination is richer than external realityARA

In a standard Petrarchan sonnet the first eight lines form the octave - typically riming ABBAABBA. The next six lines form the sestet. There is more freedom of riming in the sestet, but CDECDE is a typical pattern, and most sonnetteers avoid riming the last two lines together. Between the octave and the sestet there is usually a change in point of view, which is called the volta (Italian word for 'turn'). To give an example of how the volta works. In Keats' famous 'On first looking into Chapman's Homer' in the Octave Keats tells us what it was like for him before he had discovered Chapman's translation of the Odyssey. Then in the sestet Keats tells us what it was like reading the book for the first time.
Perpetuation and immortality are the main themes in Ode to a Grecian Urn. The theme of perpetuation is brought up by the images where the piper got to play his song forever, the guy who could never kiss the girl under a tree yet the beauty stayed with the girl forever, the tree that would never shed its leaves etc. These all happen because all the things carved on the urn are unmoving. Not far enough... the "Ode" both acknowledges and defies the limitations of humanity. Art outlasts the artist(s), and humanity celebrates the remnants of culture that art cements, makes permanent, or makes tangible, comprehensible, to the modern viewer/reader. That is why "beauty" and "truth" are inseparable, or one, in Keats' perspective. Beauty is only truth, for that ("beauty") is the one moving force behind humanity's history that seems to allow for improvement. Art, the object or the means of beauty, is the only thing that endures in history, that we may herald as a grand unifier of sorts. Without art, we would have no reliable vehicle for observing the past, and "beauty" is what propels us to strive to compare, catalogue, and contrast the artefacts of the past to the present day. Keats' point is that, without art, humans can never connect to the past, and in that attempt to analyse the past, we become able to discover the commonalities of all eras, time and civilizations. In art, we are unified, and that the goal of "finding beauty" leads us closer to discovering any universal truths that may exist in this world. Art is the only means of, not answering "why" we are, but of "how" we are. That is why "truth is beauty, beauty truth."
