উত্তরের বিবরণ
The epigraph from the “Ballad of Sir Patrick Spence” does more than just decorate the poem—it establishes both tone and theme:
-
Somber and ominous tone: The imagery of a “new Moon with the old Moon in her arms” is eerie and unnatural, suggesting something is wrong or out of balance.
-
Foreshadowing inner turmoil: Just as the sailors in the ballad anticipate a literal storm, Coleridge’s speaker anticipates an emotional and creative storm—his own dejection and loss of imaginative power.
-
Connection to nature and fate: The epigraph reflects a Romantic preoccupation with nature as a mirror of human emotion, showing how external signs (the moon, the storm) symbolize inner states of mind.
In short, the epigraph sets up the central metaphor of the poem: the poet’s inner dejection as a turbulent storm threatening to overwhelm his spirit.

Created: 1 day ago
A
Explosive rage
B
Sharp, acute sadness
C
Numbness and emotional paralysis
D
Quiet hopefulness.
Drowsy Grief: The term “drowsy” suggests lethargy and mental fatigue. The speaker’s sorrow is not active or sharp; it weighs him down, preventing mental or emotional engagement.
Unimpassioned Grief: “Unimpassioned” indicates a lack of vivid feeling or intensity. Rather than a fiery or acute sorrow, his grief is numb and stagnant, stripping him of vitality and responsiveness.
Emotional Paralysis: Together, these descriptions convey a state of emotional inertia, where the speaker is unable to connect with nature, imagination, or joy.
Romantic Context: In line with Romantic ideals, the poem emphasizes that poetic and emotional inspiration comes from a vivid, responsive inner life, which is currently suppressed, leaving the speaker trapped in dejection.

“Kubla Khan”–এ sublime বা মহিমান্বিত অভিজ্ঞতা এসেছে কারণ কোলরিজ সৌন্দর্য ও ভয়ের সমন্বয় করেছেন। বাগান, ফুল, নদীর সৌন্দর্য যেমন আছে, তেমনি ফোয়ারা, খাদ, যুদ্ধের ভবিষ্যদ্বাণী ভয়ের অনুভূতি আনে। এই বৈপরীত্য মানুষকে simultaneously আকর্ষণ ও আতঙ্কিত করে। এটিই Romantic Sublime–এর মূল বৈশিষ্ট্য।

আলবাট্রস আসার পর বরফ গলতে শুরু করে, বাতাস বয়, জাহাজ নিরাপদ হয়। তাই নাবিকেরা বিশ্বাস করে পাখিটি সৌভাগ্য বয়ে এনেছিল। একে হত্যা করা মানে দুর্ভাগ্য ডেকে আনা।
