Garden Of Eden Kubla Khan
1,336 words
Kubla Khan, by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, is one of
the most enigmatic and ambiguous pieces of

Good And Bad Kubla Khan
576 words
Kubla Khan" The poem Kubla Khan by Samuel
Coleridge is a fabulous poem full of brilliant
imagination. Coleridge expresses his dream.
Coleridge's use of imagery implies an idea which
differentiates good and bad or dreamlike and
reality. Images of the pleasure-dome; a delightful
place in his dream and sacred river; a holy and
pure place in his dream, show as if Coleridge was
demanding for a place of delight yet holy to be
built in Xanadu. But now, the lines suggest
darkness of the seditious with i...
