INTRODUCTION

Kubla Khan
Supernatural
Distant setting
Sensuous description
Poetic creation
Kubla Khan is essentially a dream-poem recounting in a poetic
form what the poet saw in a vision. It has all the marks of a
dream; vividness, free association. The dream-like texture of
Coleridge’s poem gives it a kind of twilight vagueness
intensifying its mystery. This dream-quality contributes greatly
to making the poem romantic. Coleridge's Kubla Khan, a
celebratory poem is romantic in its tone.
It is a supernatural poem based upon an opium-induced dream.
It transports us out of the world of everyday life into a world of
enchantment. The reference to the haunted waning moon and
the contrast between holy (religion) and enchanted (witchcraft)
gives a magical feeling to the reader and takes one from reality
to this dreamscape. 'The woman wailing for her demon lover'
and 'the ancestral voices prophesying war’ are obviously
supernatural occurrences. The tumultuous rise of the river Alph,
the sacred river from a deep romantic chasm is also given an
unmistakable supernatural touch. The caverns measureless to
man, the half-intermitted burst of water from the fountain,
the sunless sea— these are all supernatural touches which create
an atmosphere of mystery and fear in the poem. Weaving a
circle round him thrice is unequivocally/certainly a magical
operation. He asks to put a protection spell on an artist creating
art because they pose a threat with the imaginative power of
their mind.
The poem is work of pure fancy, the result of sheer imagination.
The exquisite, distant setting of Kubla Khan is laid in harmony
with this aspect of Romanticism. Reference to distant lands and
far off places emphasizes the romantic character of the poem.
The very first line transports us to the distant city of Xanadu, a
pleasure-dome of the great oriental King Kubla Khan. The poet
is seen romanticizing the exotic East and chooses an Eastern
despotic ruler from the 13th century while writing in the 18th
century. The unfamiliar names and setting, brought with the
spirit of mystery, lend to the poem an enchantment of its own.
Perfect romantic ideal is achieved in the poem with the
combination of man and his garden/paradise with God and
nature. Artificial and natural combine to give harmonious sight
and sound. The reconciliation of opposites is a central ideal of
the romantics.
There are sensuous phrases and pictures in Kubla Khan. Images
from nature and greenery; incense-bearing tree, chaffy grain
provide a spiritual and domestic image associated with the
romantic poetry. The sensuousness is further reinforced with the
description of an Abyssinian girl singing of Mount Abora, an
African paradise of nature set next to Kubla Khan's created
paradise at Xanadu. All these vivid pictures give the poem a
sensuous touch so characteristic of romantic poetry.
The poet appears in the first person I and captures the romantic
image of a divinely inspired artist; his flashing eyes, his
floating hair!

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Coleridge borrows the form of this poem from old, popular
English ballads. The mariner stops a guest entering a wedding to
share with him his story of escaping death and learning to value
every living thing. The elements of Romanticism found in the
poem include strong images of the supernatural and nature, as
well as a deep thread of spirituality.
Supernatural
The impression of Coleridge’s supernatural reinforces his
approval of romanticism as the supernatural is a common
romantic theme. Supernatural pervades all over the poem.

“Life-in-death” and “Death” are both supernatural existences

that drive the mariner's ship in order to decide his fate for killing
the Albatross. Pole Spirit is a siren like figure that forces the
ship to move or stay calm. This beautiful life draining creature
whistles thrice announcing the mariner’s decided fate.
