...where Kubla Khan decreed
his stately pleasure dome.
:03:05

Contents of Xanadu's palace:

Paintings, pictures, statues,
various stones of other palaces.

Enough for 10 museums,
the loot of the world.

:04:12
...a man has built to himself.
:04:28
Here in Xanadu last week...

A potent figure of our century...
