The grain, the grape, the Grail

"Beauty is truth, truth beauty", - that is all
We know on earth, you truth, but you enthrall
My soul, and if you know, I am in pain,
Forsake me not, I call you, come again:
The world is weird, but try not to escape;
You are not shadow, are you not the shape?
With you I find delight in my despair.
For ever fair is foul, and foul is fair.
But what is fair and free is also frail;
Beware themselves the grain, the grape, the Grail.
Truth is the beauty, beauty is the blow;
That's all we know and all we need to know.

Thank you.
If we assume that poem arises spontaneously as some end in itself,
the quest for consonant words seems to be a separate preliminary process...

Thank you, but it was not the quest. These lines of Keats are always with me.
