| "In Xanadu did Kubla Khan, a stately pleasure-dome decree: Where Alph, the sacred river, ran, through caverns measureless to man, down to a sunless sea." The poet S. Coleridge wakes up after that he drank the drug Laudanum (a drug which makes you feel sleepy) and has this whole poem in his head. So he stars writing, but someone suddenly disturbs him. In a sudden everything's gone. He never had the chance to finish it. The clou? Carpe diem. Before you know it, it'll never return. -Samuel Taylor Coleridge 1772-1834 |
