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!

 Context: These lines are taken from Kubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

Explanation: Kubla Khan heard the voices of his ancestors, predicting that war would come.

The shadow of Kubla Khan’s pleasure palace was reflected by the waves, and you could hear the sound of the geyser mingling with that of the water rushing through the caves.

This was truly a miraculous place: Khan’s pleasure palace was both sunny and had icy caves. If I could recreate within myself the sound of her instrument and her song,

it would bring me so much joy that I would build Kubla Khan’s pleasure palace in the sky above me: that sun-filled dome, those caves full of ice!
