济慈诗歌和书信选(英文版)01Much Have I Travell’d in the Realms of Gold
英语课
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 1 in fealty 2 to Apollo hold.
Oft of one wide expanse had I been told
That deep-brow’d Homer ruled as his demesne 3;
Yet did I never breathe its pure serene 4
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 5;
Or like stout 6 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.
