"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 DID I NEVER 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
LOOK'D AT EACH OTHER WITH A WILD SURMISE-
SILENT, UPON A PEAK IN DARIEN."

Keats.
