In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
a stately Pleasure Dome decree
where Alph the sacred river ran
through caverns measureless to man
down to a sunless sea.
Why fool with verse? That’s why, see above. Even a rather nasty 15 y. old can be stirred by that and have his life start to change.
And where do our Braves come into all this? Don’t you feel the cold running through it? Underground caverns full of icy mountain water. And flowing where? Down to a sunless sea.
