Coleridge's quotes



Kubla Khan or, a Vision In a
Dream

It is easy to find in the poem elements from the nature, which give us instantaneous pleasure; He described a beautiful place without any human intervention, full of marvellous factors which could give a majestic experience. Human beings are full of negative and positive fixtures and the character of this poem shows him as a surprised and frightful been and the poem also explain how small we are when are compared with the nature, but he is someone who can enjoy what nature give him and the honey-dew is a good example of it. The author gives us a tremendous view of a place which has a lot of natural elements, but he gave some fantastic gifts to a common cave, he started in a normal place and he added magic, and when it is ready we can read a brilliant poem. This poem move us to other world, a place where is possible to feel what nature feel, a place where water can be more than a simple drink.

Hi Wladimir,
You start your analysis with a key word "Dream". The poem takes us to an imagined world where man is confronted with nature and its power. However, as you very well put it, nature does not only mean "confrontation", but also pleasure, deep feelings and emotions. After all, Coleridge and the other Romantic poets of his generation were very much inspired by the idea of looking for Paradise.
Well done,
Claudia

Hi Wladimir
The analysis of the features of the nature in the poem is evident. I agree with the use of the nature to show his power in producing certain feelings in the readers.
The inclusion of the magic place, as you wrote, really produces a feeling of pleassure that would free people from oppresion as a characteristic of Romanticism.
You got the main idea of the poem.
Corrections:
Positives "fixtures", you meant positives "features".
The correct is this poem "moves" us, instead of this poem "move" us; and what nature "feels", instead of what nature "feel".
