Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) is considered to be one of the major Romantic poets. He is most famed for 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' and his experimental poem 'Kubla Khan'. Here an actor recites the latter.

  • @TS50ER True.

  • One can't help but wonder how this brilliant poem would have continued had Coleridge not been interrupted during the writing. 

  • This is great! I love to listen to it. It calms me down when I'm preparing exams

  • i have lost count how many readings of this on utube i have listened to (1st few line down only,all i could stomach) in quick sucession, ruined for me by pretencious readings by men loving the sound of their own voice, the poem a vehicle for their self proclaimed mastery of the spoken english language, in turn killing the feel of the intent of coleridge's words. this version is great, the poem comes first, thank u 4 uploading
