coleridge's poem,
‘kubla khan’, he composed it in a semi-conscious trance either in the autumn of 1797 or early 1798, it was published in 1816.
The whole poem is pervaded by an
atmosphere of dream and the form of a vision
he supposedly had taken a dose of opium
biden is likewise transfixed by hair sniffs, and in his dotage he does dream, to wit:
or, a vision in a dream. a fragment
in washington did bi-den
a stately pleasure-dome decree
where women, with necks and breasts and hair,
ran in numbers measureless to man.
a damsel with a dulcimer
in a vision he once saw:
it was an abyssinian maid.
keep him so occupied was said
then we can rule the world
we'll be well fed on honey-dew
and while its hair he dreams to sniff
so by this we'll change all views
in only just a jiff
