"In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree..."
Kubla Khan or, A Vision in a Dream: A Fragment is a poem written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, completed in 1797 and published in 1816. According to Coleridge's Preface to the poem, it was composed one night in the wake of an opium-influenced dream after reading a work describing Xanadu, the summer palace of the Mongol ruler and Emperor of China Kublai Khan. He left it unpublished, reserved for private readings among friends until 1816, when, at the prompting of Lord Byron, it was published.
