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
These were some of the first lines of poetry I ever memorized, and they so captivated me that I think it required no effort on my part. The poem is subtitled "a vision in a dream. A fragment." This subtitle is perfectly apropos, as the poem is almost pure poetry, painting with words a picture in vivid colors. Any message or meaning seems almost an after-thought. Enjoy this vision, this fragment which 'we have shored against our ruin,' one of the truly great purposes of poetry.
