Christabel: Kubla Khan, a Vision; The Pains of Sleep (1816) - Hardcover

Christabel: 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 named Christabel who meets a mysterious stranger named Geraldine in the woods. As the two become friends, Christabel begins to suspect that Geraldine may not be who she seems. The second poem, Kubla Khan, A Vision, is a surreal and dreamlike description of a mythical palace built by the Mongol emperor Kubla Khan. The final poem, The Pains Of Sleep, explores the themes of guilt, regret, and insomnia, as the narrator struggles to find rest and peace of mind. Coleridge's use of vivid imagery, supernatural elements, and complex symbolism make this collection a classic example of Romantic poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
