Me, way deep into something: "uhu, uhu ... yeah so then Coleridge said what?": BEEEEP BOP NOTIFICATION LOOK AT ME TU'N'BEEP
Me: oh no, my boss wants to talk about the accounts I've billed wrongly.
The shadow of the dome of pleasure
Floated midway on the waves;
Where was heard the mingled measure
From the fountain and the cave.
- Kublai Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time once again and in celebration of #WorldPoetryDay today's question is about Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge (he of 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner').
One of STC's most famous poems is Kubla Khan. He claimed that the poem came to him in an opium induced dream one day when he was hanging around in Somerset, England. It was originally planned to be 200-300 lines long, but as he rushed to write it down on waking he was interrupted by "a person on business from Porlock" and he promptly forgot what he was going to write. How many lines of Kubla Khan did he manage to commit to paper before his interruption?

Whose dome this is I think I know.
A sacred river there does flow
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea below.
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers are girdled round;
And gardens bright with sinuous rills
And many fragrant trees abound.
