Question

But oh! That deep romantic chasm which slanted Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover! A savage place! As holy and enchanted As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted By woman wailing for her demon-lover! And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething, As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing, A mighty fountain momently was forced : Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail, Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail : And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever It flung up momently the sacred river.

Answer 1

In simple words, Comparable to many of Coleridge's many poetry, the presenter's gratitude for the beauty of nature is visible in "Kubla Khan." yet somehow the representation of the hazardous and endangering elements of development is what has been trying to strike and rather different about the depiction of natural world in this short thesis.

Answer 2

Answer:

In these lines, Coleridge creates a frightening and supernatural scene. He describes a wild and desolate place, which he calls "A savage place! As holy and enchanted" that nonetheless excites him. Unlike Kubla Khan's human-made palace, this place is a miracle of nature, which is free of human restraints. This lack of human control is reflected in images such as the woman crying out for her demon lover, and the mighty, gushing fountain. Coleridge makes use of phrases such as "was forced," "ceaseless turmoil seething," and "fast thick pants" to build up the frantic and restless tone of the poem. In addition he describes a waning moon that indicates a place that is gradually entering darkness. Using such imagery Coleridge is able to build a dark and wild picture of nature that is beyond human control.
