Christabel; Kubla Khan, a Vision; The Pains of Sleep

Kubla Khan, A Vision; The Pains Of Sleep is a collection of three poems written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1816. The first poem, Christabel, tells the story of a young woman who is visited by a mysterious stranger named Geraldine. As the two spend time together, Christabel begins to suspect that Geraldine is not who she seems. The second poem, Kubla Khan, A Vision, is a dreamlike account of a fantastical palace that Coleridge claims came to him in a vision. The poem is known for its vivid imagery and use of the supernatural. The final poem, The Pains Of Sleep, is a reflection on the struggles of insomnia and the toll it takes on the mind and body. Coleridge's use of language and symbolism throughout the collection has made it a classic of English literature and a prime example of the Romantic movement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
