This phrase is part of the poem "The New Colossus" which is engraved on the Statue of Liberty in New York. "Storied" means legendary, much-talked-about, and "pomp" is pageantry, especially the pageantry that goes along with authority. The whole line, which reads "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp" is an example of American rejection of European civilization while imitating it. Certainly the poem is as pompous as anything Europe had to offer.
