Answer
Monday June 29, 2015
Category: POETIC INSPIRATIONS
Clue: ONE SUMMER DAY IN 1797 THIS BRITISH POET FELL ASLEEP READING A BOOK THAT ADAPTED THE WRITINGS OF MARCO POLO
Answer:
Who was Samuel Taylor Coleridge?
Helps that the poem was featured in the opening scene of Citizen Kane. And that I once lived on Coleridge street in SF. Cause I am weak on poetry, but the handful that I know, I remember.
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
oh, and this (yeah, a lot of the 80s really sucked ass):
