Which lines in this excerpt from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Kubla Khan" best reflect the theme of chaos and excitement in creation? But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover! A savage place! as holy and enchanted As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted By woman wailing for her demon-lover! And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething, As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing, A mighty fountain momently was forced : Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail, Or chaffy grain
beneath the thresher's flail : And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever It flung up momently the sacred river.
