Coleridge and opium
Throughout his adult life, Coleridge suffered from crippling bouts of anxiety and depression; it has been speculated by some that he suffered from bipolar disorder, a condition as yet unidentified during his lifetime. Coleridge suffered from poor health that may have stemmed from a bout of rheumatic fever and other childhood illnesses. He was treated for these concerns with laudanum, which fostered a lifelong opium addiction.
Thank You For Listening!
The last ten lines of "Frost at Midnight" were described as the "best example of the peculiar kind of blank verse Coleridge had evolved, as natural-seeming as prose, but as exquisitely artistic as the most complicated sonnet.“ The speaker of the poem is addressing his infant son, asleep by his side.
Themes of Kubla Khan
Kubla Khan is about poetry and the two sections discuss two types of poems. The power of the imagination is an important component to this theme. Through use of the imagination, the poem is able to discuss issues surrounding tyranny, war, and contrasts that exist within paradise. The water imagery is also related to the divine and nature, and the poet is able to harness tap into nature in a way Kubla Khan cannot in order to harness its power.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834)
English lyrical poet, critic, and philosopher, whose Lyrical Ballads, written with Wordsworth, started the English Romantic movement. his metaphysical anxiety, anticipating modern existentialism, has gained him reputation as an authentic visionary. a major influence, via Emerson, on American transcendentalism.

Kubla Khan
Or A Vision in a Dream, A Fragment
“Kubla Khan” is a dream-poem. In the summer of 1797 the author had retired to a lonely farm-house between Porlock and Linton. He had taken anodyne and after three hours sleep he woke up with a clear image of the poem. Disturbed by a visitor, he lost the vision, with the exception of some eight or ten scattered lines and images. Modern scholarship is skeptical of this story, but it reflects Coleridge's problems to manage practical life and finish his ideas.
