Kubla Khan
An imagined landscape in which was made for the fountain and his Abyssinian maid. I enjoy how Coleridge creates a scene of darkness and yet ends with a place of paradise (ecstasy). The creation of a hideous landscape is symbolic to me as a view of everyday life; as we continue to precede meticulously our own lives and ignoring the ID, or the animal instinct due to the norms opposed onto us. While screams of “Beware! Beware!” are belted as enjoyable and restricted.

I think that it is also nice how the poem talks about darkness but ends with the idea of ecstasy. I agree with the fact that the landscape can be compared to everyday life.
