Poetry of John Keats - 9 - Miscellany 2

On First Looking into Chapman's Homer
John Keats - 1795-1821
Much have I traveled 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-browed Homer ruled as his demesne;
Yet never did I breathe its pure serene
Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold:
Then felt I like some watcher of the skies
When a new planet swims into his ken;
Or like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes
He stared at the Pacific—and all his men
Looked at each other with a wild surmise—
Silent, upon a peak in Darien.

Keats read by a miscellany, old and new. The final item is a dramatized version of the Eve of St Agnes from the bbc. Kindly seed.
