These lines highlight that human creation and control are never absolute. Even within the ordered beauty of Kubla Khan’s pleasure-dome, nature and history exert their untamed influence. The “ancestral voices” rising from the river’s “tumult” symbolize the continuing presence of past forces, chaos, and primal energy, reminding the reader that human endeavors, no matter how grand or orderly, exist within a larger, uncontrollable natural and historical context.

It emphasizes the Romantic theme of the tension between civilization (human art) and the wild, eternal forces of nature and time.
