  • What a classic voice.

  • Well from one classic voice to another (yours) THANKS!!

  • Chas, BRAVO!, YF, Egon

  • Cheers Egon!

  • Again, dear sir, I need to pay tribute to your poetry-reading skill. The voice is resonant. The rhythm is apparent but never overdriven.

  • Very many thanks. Charles.

  • I am almost obsessed with this poem having of course dismissed it in my younger years. I like your version. Your version is absolutely timeless. Thanks for posting.

  • Read in a classical fashion and with a haunting hesitation. Not as I have heard it in my heart and head, but lovely nevertheless.

  • It is said that S.T.C. was in an opium trance when he wrote this poetic '' fragment ''.

    A visitor called and snapped the stream of his poetic creation.

    This is credible. The verse creates poetry at the conscious and subconscious levels and has veiled sexual imagery. This fragment is complete as a poetic creation.

  • i want the explanation

  • go listen to "RUSH" the album called farewell to kings the song "xanadu" recites this poem in a very tasty way. one of the best songs ever written by anyone.

  • @rsmaster10000 It was written after waking from an opium dream, so yes, very very high

  • I heard the guy was high when he wrote this

  • Thank you Douglas Noel Adams for introducing me to this poem and thank you Samuel Taylor Coleridge for writing it!
