Answer:On First Looking at Chapman's Homer

by John Keats (excerpt)

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.
