It explores the issues involved in a world without energy, gone mad, that crosses the line into nuclear holocaust.

Griselda, in "Down to a sunless sea", embodies the grace and innocence of Xanadu as much as her human counterparts, Madu and Lari.
Kuat, in "Down to a Sunless Sea", is probably the most evil person in Smith's writings, but even he believes that he is being kind when he cripples Lari.
"Down to a sunless sea" was completed after Smith's death by his widow, and it is interesting to speculate how much Madu owes to Genevieve Linebarger.

 Xanadu
You drive down the narrow road, which then turns sharply to the left, crosses the river and climbs up the other side of the valley on the way to Tregaron.
After the path disappeared a couple of times and we had to jump across the streams which cascaded down and fed the river, the forest came to an abrupt end and we faced a fence, with a stile, and a grass-covered hill beyond.
We could not keep to the riverbank because there wasn`t one, the hill ran down and the Ystwyth had done what it was destined to do for time immemorial, had cut into the earth so there was a sheer drop of ten feet or more to the rushing water.

Down To A Sunless Sea, September 13, 2005
"Down to a sunless sea" is a phrase from one of my favorite poems, Coleridge's Kubla Khan, which the author quotes at the beginning of the story.

 [minstrels] Kubla Khan -- Samuel Taylor Coleridge
So twice five miles of fertile ground With walls and towers were girdled round: And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills, Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree; And here were forests ancient as the hills, Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
Down the caverns measureless to man to a sunless sea.
From: "kenman" Maybe not your music of choice, but Electric Wizard (a doom rock band) of the UK have been credited with bridging centuries in invoking the spirit of Coleridge far more vividly than any band in metal's history, Maiden and Rush included.

 SparkNotes: Coleridge's Poetry: "Kubla Khan"
The speaker describes the "stately pleasure-dome" built in Xanadu according to the decree of Kubla Khan, in the place where Alph, the sacred river, ran "through caverns measureless to man / Down to a sunless sea." Walls and towers were raised around "twice five miles of fertile ground," filled with beautiful gardens and forests.
As the poet explains in the short preface to this poem, he had fallen asleep after taking "an anodyne" prescribed "in consequence of a slight disposition" (this is a euphemism for opium, to which Coleridge was known to be addicted).
Waking after about three hours, the poet seized a pen and began writing furiously; however, after copying down the first three stanzas of his dreamt poem--the first three stanzas of the current poem as we know it--he was interrupted by a "person on business from Porlock," who detained him for an hour.

I had a friend at work hand me a novel the other day and ask me this question "Is what they say in this book about diving technically correct?" Being the curious person that I am, it took me all of about two seconds to decide to read this book.
What impressed me most about this book was its attention to detail, right down to what the actual caves look like inside.
When he was writing about Peacock Springs State Park he mentioned the unmanned pay booth out front, and went into great detail when it came down to entrance to the cave, as well as the cave itself.

It was roughly located in the blocks between the divided one-way portions of the boulevard.
After gambling got shut down by the federal government (of Mexico, you understand), the hotel complex was converted into a technical school, and the old buildings were gradually stripped of all their furnishings and even much of the tilework.

 Wine on the Web - Features, Xanadu
In 1968 an eccentric Irish doctor, John Lagan, arrived at what was then the remote hamlet of Margaret River, in the southern section of Western Australia.
It was sufficiently close to Coleridge's image to inspire the doctor, a great lover of literature, to recall the description of Xanadu.
What is fascinating about Margaret River is that just like Coleridge's Xanadu it has its own beautiful river and an impressive array of giant caves, the only major difference being a sun-filled, rather than a sunless, sea.

 Samuel Taylor Coleridge: Kubla Khan
He claimed that this poem came to him in an opium dream.
It opens with an enigmatic but precise description of an emperor's pleasure dome located in an enchanted, savage spot where a woman cries for her demon lover and the sacred river is flung up violently, then meanders before plunging through caverns into a sunless sea.
In trying to interpret this symbolic site we can begin by seeing the dome as a human creation (art) built in and over nature's beauty and power.

This list includes stories with titles taken from lines in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's excellent poem, "Kubla Khan".
In one case, the title is actually from Coleridge's commentary on the genesis of the poem (he dreamed it, and was writing it all down when interrupted by "a person from Porlock".
He never remembered the rest of the poem.) I should also mention Jane Yolen's three fine original anthologies, Xanadu 1, 2 and 3, collections of fantasy stories.

The river channels are likely carved by liquid methane or ethane, as the moon is too cold for water to be liquid.
"Although Titan gets far less sunlight and is much smaller and colder than Earth, Xanadu is no longer just a mere bright spot, but a land where rivers flow down to a sunless sea," Lunine said.
Liquid methane might fall as rain or trickle from springs to create the rivers, Lunine and his colleagues figure.
