As noted by Charles Cowden Clarke, this poem was inspired by a passage containing the line "the sea had soakt his heart through." This poem's speaker tells of having often been told of "one wide expanse" which a certain author "ruled as his demesne," despite never having "breathe[d] its pure serene." The speaker also notes that he has been "round many western islands" and travelled much "in the realms of gold." After performing the titular action, the speaker "felt like some watcher of the skies when a new planet swims into his ken." He also compares himself to "stout Cortez" staring at the Pacific. For 10 points, name this John Keats poem about the discovery of a certain translation of the work of the author of the Odyssey.
