Desire without longing means that you have the thing you desire without the experience of longing (aching) for it. There is no want, just fulfilment. In that case, art is the fulfillment without the want, so it is the pure happiness of desire. Get it? Instead of having to wish and wish and want and want for something, which is negative, art just gives the thing you desire.
