Leonora Rustamova was suspended from her post in January prompting mass demonstrations by pupils and a campaign by parents to have her reinstated. But after a disciplinary hearing, governors have now decided to sack the teacher.
Some time between 9 and 14 Octoberwhen Coleridge says he had completed the tragedy, he left Stowey for Lynton. On his return, he became sick and rested at Ash Farm, located at Culbone Church and one of the few places to seek shelter on his route.
In the summer of the yearthe Author, then in ill health, had retired to a lonely farm house between Porlock and Linton, on the Exmoor confines of Somerset and Devonshire.
On awakening he appeared to himself to have a distinct recollection of the whole, and taking his pen, ink, and paper, instantly and eagerly wrote down the lines that are here preserved.
At this moment he was unfortunately called out by a person on business from Porlockand detained by him above an hour, and on his return to his room, found, to his no small surprise and mortification, that though he still retained some vague and dim recollection of the general purport of the vision, yet, with the exception of some eight or ten scattered lines and images, all the rest had passed away like the images on the surface of a stream into which a stone had been cast, but, alas!
Then all the charm Is broken—all that phantom-world so fair Vanishes, and a thousand circlets spread, And each mis-shape the other. Stay awhile, Poor youth! Yet from the still surviving recollections in his mind, the Author has frequently purposed to finish for himself what had been originally, as it were, given to him.
As a contrast to this vision, I have annexed a fragment of a writing a book images different character, describing with equal fidelity the dream of pain and disease. It was northeast of Cambaluor modern-day Beijing. The book contained a brief description of Xanaduthe summer capital of the Mongol ruler Kublai Khan.
The text about Xanadu in Purchas, His Pilgrimes, which Coleridge admitted he did not remember exactly, was: In Xandu did Cublai Can build a stately Pallace, encompassing sixteen miles of plaine ground with a wall, wherein are fertile Meddowes, pleasant Springs, delightfull streames, and all sorts of beasts of chase and game, and in the middest thereof a sumptuous house of pleasure, which may be moved from place to place.
In about —, he dictated a description of Xanadu which includes these lines: And when you have ridden three days from the city last mentioned Cambaluor modern Beijingbetween north-east and north, you come to a city called Chandu, which was built by the Khan now reigning.
There is at this place a very fine marble Palace, the rooms of which are all gilt and painted with figures of men and beasts and birds, and with a variety of trees and flowers, all executed with such exquisite art that you regard them with delight and astonishment.
Round this Palace a wall is built, inclosing a compass of 16 miles, and inside the Park there are fountains and rivers and brooks, and beautiful meadows, with all kinds of wild animals excluding such as are of ferocious naturewhich the Emperor has procured and placed there to supply food for his gerfalcons and hawks, which he keeps there in mew.
He described it this way: Moreover at a spot in the Park where there is a charming wood he has another Palace built of cane, of which I must give you a description. It is gilt all over, and most elaborately finished inside. It is stayed on gilt and lackered columns, on each of which is a dragon all gilt, the tail of which is attached to the column whilst the head supports the architrave, and the claws likewise are stretched out right and left to support the architrave.
The roof, like the rest, is formed of canes, covered with a varnish so strong and excellent that no amount of rain will rot them. These canes are a good 3 palms in girth, and from 10 to 15 paces in length. They are cut across at each knot, and then the pieces are split so as to form from each two hollow tiles, and with these the house is roofed; only every such tile of cane has to be nailed down to prevent the wind from lifting it.
In short, the whole Palace is built of these canes, which I may mention serve also for a great variety of other useful purposes. The construction of the Palace is so devised that it can be taken down and put up again with great celerity; and it can all be taken to pieces and removed whithersoever the Emperor may command.
When erected, it is braced against mishaps from the wind by more than cords of silk. The Lord abides at this Park of his, dwelling sometimes in the Marble Palace and sometimes in the Cane Palace for three months of the year, to wit, June, July, and August; preferring this residence because it is by no means hot; in fact it is a very cool place.
When the 28th day of the Moon of August arrives he takes his departure, and the Cane Palace is taken to pieces. Crewe Manuscript[ edit ] The Crewe Manuscript, handwritten by Coleridge himself some time before the poem was published in Ina copy of the poem written by Coleridge himself sometime before its publication in was discovered in a private library.
The so-called Crewe Manuscript was sent by Coleridge to a Mrs. Southey, who later gave it or sold it to a private autograph collector. It was auctioned in and purchased by another autograph collector for the price of one pound fifteen pence.
For example, Coleridge changed the size and description of the garden: Crewe Manuscript compared with: So twice five miles of fertile ground With walls and towers were girdled round.
From forth this Chasm with hideous Turmoil seething Crewe Manuscript was changed to: And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething published text The most significant change came in the lines: Crewe Manuscript Which, in the published version, became: It is possible that the poem was recited to his friends during this time and was kept for private use instead of publication.
However, the exact date of the poem is uncertain because Coleridge normally dated his poems but did not date Kubla Khan. May and October The history of writing traces the development of expressing language by letters or other marks and also the studies and descriptions of these developments..
