Description
In 1797, according to his own account, the English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge was reading about Shangdu (also known as Xanadu) in "Purchas his Pilgrimes", fell asleep, and had an opium-inspired dream. The dream caused him to begin the poem known as 'Kubla Khan'.
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
