	"Kubla Khan" and the Implied Critic's Decision Style
		Many readers who believe that "Kubla Khan" is a great poem, feel that its greatness may have to do with the irruption of the irrational and of chaos into our rational and ordered world, with a force that is unprecedented in lyric poetry.
		Readers who consider "Kubla Khan" a great poem, usually feel that this ecstatic quality is present in the poem; readers who tend to regard it to be less than a major poem, usually have doubts as for the presence of this ecstatic quality.
		Kubla's motives have been left tacit; but a considerable part of the description is devoted to the sublime aspects of the landscape.

	Blogcritics Comments on Miracle of Rare Device: the involuted poetics of Kubla Khan
		Strangely enough, one of your reasons for dismissing Kubla Khan as fodder for interpretation IS based on Coleridge's biography and your distaste for "opium haze ramblings." There's some irony for you.
		Kubla Khan is eminently worthy of interpretation and open to multiple interpretations.
		Kubla Khan is undoubtedly a work of the imagination." ".

		In Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure dome decree: Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man 5 Down to a sunless sea.
		In Kubla Khan, the "deep romantic chasm" is described as "savage," but in the same breath it's also described as "holy" and "enchanted." Poets can have strange visions, but if they want to write poems about those visions, they have to use the language that's current in their own time and place.

	PlanetPapers - Samuel Coleridge's Kubla Khan and Materialism
		Kubla Khan, the source of the title of the poem as well as the creator of the first pleasure dome, is representative of all those who desire control over territory and land.
		Kubla Khan’s pleasure dome is a futile attempt by mankind to capture and physically create the epitome of pleasure in the form of a paradise.
		Kubla Khan is the height of ambiguity in poetry.

	[minstrels] Kubla Khan -- Samuel Taylor Coleridge
		Kubla Khan is a fascinating and exasperating poem.
		Kubla Khan is the sole or a major subject in five book-length studies; close to 150 articles and book-chapters (doubtless I have missed some others) have been devoted exclusively to it; and brief notes and incidental comments on it are without number.
		Throughout the nineteenth century and during the first quarter of the twentieth century Kubla Khan was considered, almost universally, to be a poem in which sound overwhelms sense.

	"Kubla Khan" by Coleridge - Literature Network Forums
		I like Kubla khan more than Mariner and Frost at midnight (these are the poems we studied this year for igcse in new zealand).
		Kubla is really two poems - the first part inspired arising out of the dream and written out with the energy of the dreamworld still on it.
		The second part is after the interruption of the 'person from Purlock' and is Coleridge trying to use his creativity to impose an order on what by then was fading from his mind.

	Gale - Free Resources - Poet's Corner - Poems - Kublah Kahn Explanation (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In these lines, Coleridge introduces Kubla Khan, ruler of the Mongol Empire in China during the 13th century A.D. His kingdom symbolized wealth and mystery to Europeans ever since Marco Polo first wrote about his travels there; throughout the poem, Coleridge builds a sense of the exotic and mysterious.
		The poem returns to that part of this earthly paradise which Kubla Khan has constructed, the pleasure-dome; however, in these lines, it is not seen directly, merely as a shadow.
		This serves as a contrast to the Khan's pleasure-dome, bound by walls, and not meant for all to use.

	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.
		The first three stanzas are products of pure imagination: The pleasure-dome of Kubla Khan is not a useful metaphor for anything in particular (though in the context of the poem's history, it becomes a metaphor for the unbuilt monument of imagination); however, it is a fantastically prodigious descriptive act.
		The fourth stanza states the theme of the poem as a whole (though "Kubla Khan" is almost impossible to consider as a unified whole, as its parts are so sharply divided).

	Comments on Coleridge
		Kubla is a warrior’s name, but he derives joy from the construction of his pleasure-dome rather than the defeat of his foes.
		The chasm, whether or not it affects directly the river, does have a negative effect on Kubla, for it is during the eruption of the chasm that he hears of an impending war.
		Kubla, for all his might and majesty, faces the fact that he is not a god.

		Kubla is the agent in the visual-volitional domain, while the fountain is the agent in the auditory-expressive domain.
		The lines for Kubla's decree are shaded in pink to represent their association with the human realm while the lines for Alph's journey to the caves are shaded in green to indicate their association with the natural world.
		The point of this analysis is that there is a scheme to Coleridge's rhymes in "Kubla Khan." And that scheme agrees with the constituent structure of the poem, as determined primarily by punctuation, except in two places, 1.22 and 2.22--analogous sections of Movements 1 and 2 respectively.
