6/9/2023 0 Comments Chapman's Homer by HomerMUCH have I travell'd in the realms of gold,Īnd many goodly states and kingdoms seen Be it looking at a poem, a story, a building, a landscape, or a person for the first time (or with fresh eyes), may we be with Keats' speaker like 'some watcher of the skies' discovering 'new planets', injecting vitality, excitement and a 'wild surmise' as we live our daily lives. I've chosen 'On First Looking Into Chapman's Homer', not because I know it was written in Keats House (I don't) but because, with things new or refurbished, we are once more able to put in a position of wide-eyed discovery. In honour of this reopening, I thought it only fitting to choose a Keats poem for this week's Featured Poem. ( View photographs of Keats' refurbished house here.) Keats House in Hampstead, where he wrote some of his best loved poems, has benefited from £424,000 Lottery grant, which sees the rooms he knew recreated. Last week, Keats's London home reopened after major refurbishment.
