Do I need a comma here?

I really like the line, "Beauty is truth. Truth beauty."

Do I need the comma after line or is it ok without it?

Thanks!

Hi,
I'm not sure where you mean to put a comma but i am guessing that you mean instead of the period, as in "Beauty is truth, truth beauty."

The phrase is from a poem by John Keats, Ode on a Grecian Urn, and the line is:

'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,--that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.'

Here's the whole poem if you want to read it:

You can omit it. I would use it.
