In the first poem "Kubla Khan" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, it celebrates the imagination against its indulgence. The imagery inside this poem was very descriptive. The "Sacred river" from line 3 and "And there were...sunny spots of greenery." helps describe that this place is a very peaceful, save, and heavenly place. Then it end up switching this same place in to an evil place. According to line 14 to line 16 and line 46 to line 50, the imagery that indicate the appearance of evil is a woman waiting for her demon lover, the sunny dome, and everyone should cry beware. Coleridge might have wrote this poem for the people who loves romantic poems and other romantic poets. His purpose is to help describe and draw the attention to the people to see how the nature around it really is. He wants to bring nature closer to the people and to help them understand how pretty and how dangerous the world can be.
The poem "Ozymandias" written by Percy Bysshe Shelley contains two speakers. The two speakers are the traveler and Ozymandias. The traveler seem to introduce the remainings of Ozymandias, a statue. The other speaker is Ozymandias through the words that appears on the pedestral. “My name is Ozymandias, king of kings, Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!” This quote is to show that when Ozymandias was alive, he might be a very powerful king where other kings might even have to obey him.
