The romantic poem, 'Kubla Kahn (a fragment in a dream)' by Samuel Taylor Coleridge explores his subconscious mind, portraying the journey of the imaginative process. Carrying romantic insights throughout the poem, Coleridge portrays the ideal romantic imagination through the use of language devices. Binding the poem together through spiritual connections and pantheistic ideologies Coleridge shows the audience the awe and danger of the imagination. Kubla Kahn is a poem in which deeply investigates the imaginative journey and the importance of the imagination. Opening in a declaring manner, "In Xanadu did Kubla Khan/ A stately pleasure dome decree" paints a picture of the imagination being a perfect paradise with "Xanadu", in addition with the plosives in "pleasure dome decree", creating an imperial tone giving connotations of power. The mystical connotations of "Kubla Khan" creates an ancient image in readers minds, setting the scene. The imaginative journey continues in the tactile line, "Down to a sunless sea" creating a range of emotions, building on romantic ideals. Again, Coleridge creates a sensory experience for the readers with "gardens bright with sinuous rills" the use of sibilance, elongating the sounds imitating the perfect process of the imaginative journey. Coleridge uses olfactory imagery, "incense-bearing tree" to heighten the pleasant imaginative journey, creating the perfect paradise. To explore the subconscious mind in a perfect paradise, Coleridge has made use of sensory imagery to deepen the understanding of the imagination and the way in which it takes its course.
