Paper Summary:
This paper compares and contrasts two of Samuel Coleridge's poems, "Kubla Khan" and "Pains of Sleep" to illustrate what was going through Coleridge's head, during his addiction and then during his withdrawal (which he was completely unaware of at the time).From the Paper:
" It is believed that drugs open up the mind, allowing hallucinations and such to come about. For Samuel Coleridge, the use of opium for physical ailments (as was common at the time) helped him to write some extremely interesting and powerful poetry. Several of his poems obviously reflect the affect of his use and withdrawal of the opium, which was sometimes not so pleasant."More papers on Coleridge's Contradiction:
