Kubla Khan by Coledridge is a visionary poem which represents perfectly the romantic period. Nothing is too white, nothing is too black. Man´s imagination is as powerful as God´s power. Nature is absolutely predominant in this poem as well as truth, faith, pleasure and imagination. I think Coledridge is a pioneer because he doesn´t write about ordinary topics or irrelevant issues. I guess he goes beyond everybody else during his writing period. His social thought stands for what everyone has ever dream of at least once during our life time. Kubka Khan might be the long expected paradise that is needed to contrast the civilized world where we live in. The green and peaceful piece of land where can be who we truly are, without any prejudices. I feel that this piece of writing has some biblical references; as the image of women, the presence of the snake, and of course the paradise.
