Diagramming Coleridge

[Frank Antonson]

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan/ A stately pleasure dome decree:/ Where Alph, the sacred river, ran/ Through caverns measurely to man/ Down to a sunless sea ("Kubla Khan")

[Frank Antonson]

I meant "measureless to man".

kahn / did decree

[Frank Antonson]

" did a stately pleasure dome decree [into existence]" is how I understand this?

What about you?

 

[Frank Antonson]

That, or decreed the dome to be built.
