Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art( 1819)

9. Bright Star

10. Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art –
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors –
No – yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillowed 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 ever – or else swoon in death.

11. The Composition of "Bright Star”
Keats wrote "Bright Star" in 1819 and
revised it in 1820, perhaps on the voyage to
Italy. Friends and his doctor had urged him
to try a common treatment for tuberculosis,
a trip to Italy; however, Keats was aware
that he was dying. Some critics have
theorized that this poem was addressed to
his fiancée, Fanny Brawne.

12. Keats died of complications from tuberculosis. His genius was
not generally perceived during his lifetime or immediately
after his death.
Keats, dying, expected
his poetry to be forgotten,
as the epitaph he wrote for
his tombstone indicates:
"Here lies one whose name
was writ in water.”
