"In consequence of a slight indisposition,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kubla Khan

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

 

 

 

an anodyne had been prescribed,

 

from the effects of which he fell asleep in

his chair at the moment that he was

reading the following sentence..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

``Here the Khan Kubla commanded a palace to

be built, and a stately garden thereunto.

 

And thus ten miles of fertile ground

were inclosed with a wall.''
