Xanadu
Where the phrase comes from · Card no. 4067
From Coleridge, who wrote Kubla Khan after an opium dream in 1797 and published it in 1816. Xanadu was real enough first, Shangdu, the summer capital of Kublai Khan, but the poem is what everyone means.
No such place exists, which has never stopped anyone from going. Every card here is an original painting of a phrase, free to send by email or by link.
