Poetry and Book Review
Aug. 10th, 2006 02:48 pmBored and need to work on my story, forcing myself to stay off Achaea. Plus, a friend has begged me to help her make a background in Photoshop. But first, this. On a whim, I memorized the first 11 lines of "Kubla Khan", a famous poem by Coleridge or something. No punctuation, because it's typed from memory.
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree
Where Alph, the sacred river ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
So twice five mlies of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree
And here were forests ancient as the hills
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery
Whee. Dunno why I'm so into poetry right now, but I am. And this poem is so... rhythmical. Anyway, on to the book review. Positive, this time.
It's nice to write a positive book review, instead of a negative one. I think I missed some points, but oh well.
