77. Kubla Khan
























Crazy old Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Did you know Kubla Khan was explicitly inspired by an opium-fueled dream he had? Also, because of the opening lines -- In Xanadu did Kubla Khan // A stately pleasure dome decree -- I was this close to mistakenly referring to this poem as Xanadu. Which is something different entirely, and features substantially more Olivia Newton John.
