What is Kubla Khan?
'''Kubla Khan''' is a poem by [[Samuel Taylor Coleridge]]. He wrote it in 1797, and it was published in 1816. It is a poem from the Romantic era, a time when people often made art about nature and emotions. Coleridge said that he wrote the poem after a dream he had, while on [[opium]]. He said that he was interrupted by a person from [[Porlock]] while he was writing it, and never got to finish it. Some people say that this is not completely true. The first [[stanza]] of the poem describes a pleasure dome and a river called Alph, and the second stanza talks about an Abyssinian maid. {{lit-stub}} [[Category:18th-century British poems]] [[Category:1790s works]]
