My advisor just sent me a review paper on dynamic light scattering, containing a citation to Keats' "Ode on a Grecian Urn" in the reference list. The authors have the sentence "As we discuss throughout this paper, the acquisition of true and beautiful data" in the introduction, no doubt a reference to Keats' line "'Beauty is truth, truth beauty' -- that is all / Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."
