Sanadu
Created | Updated May 31, 2006
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.
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round:
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
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.
Five miles meandering with a mazy motion
Through wood and dale the sacred river ran,
Then reached the caverns measureless to man,
And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean:
And 'mid this tumult Kubla heard from far
Ancestral voices prophesying war!
The shadow of the dome of pleasure
Floated midway on the waves;
Where was heard the mingled measure
From the fountain and the caves.
It was a miracle of rare device,
A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice!
A damsel with a dulcimer
In a vision once I saw:
It was an Abyssinian maid,
And on her dulcimer she played,
Singing of Mount Abora.
Could I revive within me
Her symphony and song,
To such a deep delight 'twould win me,
That with music loud and long,
I would build that dome in air,
That sunny dome! those caves of ice!
And all who heard should see them there,
And all should cry, Beware! Beware!
His flashing eyes, his floating hair!
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread,
For he on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise.
Disclaimer: Any damage caused by using this product is your own concern, we just have to note this is a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
You can go nuts insane and when you are screwed up tight enough you can outsane again.
Oh yes we would publish some code down here:
Parrot feet (please do not count my nails) as used for the announcement of the badges and banner on the FrontPage. One can see clearly there are not much <norwegianblueparrot>s (
) in stock.<LINK H2G2="A1046701">

The stocked parrot will show left of this like:
Well the actual member badge, a parrot hiding behind a shrubbery:

This one will show up as follows:
Notice the Right parameter for the EMBED attribute places the image on the right side of the text.
You can also use both

<PICTURE BLOB="B4882564" WIDTH="110" HEIGHT="110" EMBED="Right"/>
</LINK>
These are rather unwilling to not embed the text on their side. I have to use some seven newlines <BR/> to get the next paragraph below the image instead of embedded.
I prefer personal to use some tablets.

| You can still 'Embed' text. Disadvantage: text will not flow above or below image. Advantage: text and image do not collide and both will always be visible. | |
Hmm, I start wondering if Samuel Coleridge would appreciate this addition.
