On First Looking Into Chapman's Homer

MUCH have I travell'd in the realms of gold, 
And many goodly states and kingdoms seen; 
Round many western islands have I been 
Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold. 
Oft of one wide expanse had I been told 
That deep-brow'd Homer ruled as his demesne; 
Yet never did I breathe its pure serene 
Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold. 
Then I felt like some watcher of the skies 
When a new planet swims into his ken; 
Or like stout Cortez, when with eagle eyes 
He star'd at the Pacific--and all his men 
Look'd at each other with a wild surmise-- 
Silent upon a peak in Darien. 

John Keats
