No Wild Surmise
AN SURPRISING number of people *"" seem to think that stout.Cortez was "silent" on his peak because he was lost in wonder at the view of the Pacific ... Well, now, that’s quite unreasonable and quite absurd really, when you come to think of it. Keats emphasised the fact that Cortez was stout; and of course when a stout man climbs a peak he can’t possibly be anything but "silent": when he gets to the top, poor chap-till he gets his breath back, anyway.-From an NZBS Book Shop programme.
