Chapter 9 My first impressions of Japman's translation of Homer
My first impressions of Japman's translation of Homer
I have traveled through many golden lands,
Seen many good cities and kingdoms,
How many more western islands, singer
have made them submit to Apollo.
I have often heard that there is a realm, vast and boundless,
Wise Homer reigned there,
The purity and peace I have never known,
until i heard jopman's voice
Fearless and high.So my emotions
As an omenist discovers a new constellation,
Or like Cortes, with the eyes of a falcon
gazed at the Pacific while his fellow
looking at each other in amazed speculation,
Just stand silent on the Dalyan peak.
