FROM "BRIGHT STAR" OF KEATS

"No - yet still steadfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live over - or else swoon to death."

{ Keats imagines that he lies on the ground with his head pillowing upon his "fair love's ripening (young) breast and feels its 'fall and swell' with all his involvement. He desists from falling asleep (because of the intense pleasure) and keeps awake to listen to her 'tender-taken breath'. Keats wants to perpetuate this moment of pleasure for eternity and if that was not possible, he would like to die that very moment....... And so we say that Keats was a poet of sensuous pleasure. His philosophy both began and ended with "beauty". Thus he said, "Truth is Beauty and Beauty Truth". }
