Line 1: − '''"On First Looking Into Chapman's Homer"''' is a poem written by [[John Keats]], first published in 1816. It is in the form of an [[Italian Sonnet]]. In the poem, Keats makes the mistake of claiming that it was [[Cortez]] who discovered the [[Pacific]], when it was really [[Vasco Núñez de Balboa]]. + − + − <big>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 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 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</big> − − − [[Category:Poetry]]
