In Xanadu did Kubla KhanA stately pleasure-dome decree:Where Alph, the sacred river, ranThrough caverns measureless to manDown to a sunless sea.

Reviews / Votes
"For Coleridge, poetry was the 'balance of reconciliation of oppositive or discordant qualities'. In Kubla Khan we hear a 'mingled pleasure': sun and ice, garden and wild, 'demon lover' , peace and war. The Khan himself is both enlightened ruler and despot. The river Alph runs from birth to death, 'ceaseless tumult' to 'lifeless ocean', alpha to omega." ~ Adrian BlamiresMore details
