উত্তরের বিবরণ
Composition of Kubla Khan
-
Dream Inspiration:
-
Coleridge composed the poem after waking from an opium-induced dream.
-
The dream provided a vivid vision of Xanadu, the river Alph, and the pleasure dome.
-
-
Interruption:
-
While writing down the vision, he was interrupted by a visitor from Porlock.
-
-
Incomplete Poem:
-
After the visitor left, Coleridge could no longer recall the rest of the dream.
-
As a result, the poem remained an unfinished fragment.
-
This story emphasizes the dreamlike, imaginative, and fragmentary nature of Kubla Khan, which is central to its Romantic qualities.

The overall tone of the poem can be described as:
Created: 1 day ago
A
Light-hearted and whimsical
B
Didactic and moralistic
C
Solemn, eerie, and supernatural
D
Cynical and satirical
Why this answer is correct:
-
Solemnity:
-
The poem has a serious and moralizing tone.
-
It warns about the consequences of violating nature and divine law.
-
The Mariner’s tale highlights guilt, repentance, and redemption.
-
-
Eerie and Mysterious Atmosphere:
-
Strange imagery like the ghostly ship, spectral crew, and the death-like stillness of the ocean creates suspense.
-
This adds a sense of supernatural foreboding throughout the story.
-
-
Supernatural Elements:
-
Symbolic albatross, spirits, and divine retribution blend the natural and supernatural worlds.
-
Supernatural features heighten the moral and psychological tension.
-
-
Contrast with Other Tones:
-
Not whimsical or light-hearted; the events are grave and terrifying.
-
Not merely didactic; emotional and experiential impact is emphasized.
-
Not cynical or satirical; Coleridge treats supernatural and moral themes seriously.

Which mood does Coleridge confess in the early stanzas of the poem “Dejection: an Ode”?
Created: 1 week ago
A
Energetic joy
B
Heartless gloom and blankness
C
Religious ecstasy
D
Fierce anger
কবি শুরুতেই জানান, তার ভেতর এখন এক ধরনের “grief without a pang”—ব্যথাহীন কিন্তু নিস্তেজ দুঃখ, যা শূন্যতা, অন্ধকার ও নিরানন্দে ভরা। তিনি বলেন তিনি সৌন্দর্য দেখছেন, কিন্তু অনুভব করছেন না। এটি এক গভীর বিষণ্ণতা ও নিস্তেজতার স্বীকারোক্তি, যা Romantic কাব্যের আত্মস্বীকারোক্তিমূলক সুরকে তুলে ধরে।
