The closer the distance is, the clearer the view gets"

1. "The closer the distance is, the clearer the view gets"

Would it still be correct if I omit the verbs and turn it into the below one?

2. "The closer the distance, the clearer the view"

or must the verbs always be included?

Thank you.

2. "The closer the distance, the clearer the view" Yes, but then it is not a sentence. You can use it as an interjection or after a colon, for instance.
