Part 2
From what I've read about the poem. At the beginning Coleridge is viewing this gorgeous land. Then as the poem continues he is tripping out on some type of drug. So his visions are changing and he is hallucinating what he is describing as the poem moves on. He's seeing creatures in what was plain and beautiful prior to the drug induced hallucinations. In the last stanza, lines 42 and 46 Coleridge is trying to revive something within himself,so that he could " build that dome in air". The Abyssinian maid, who is playing music is rousing up memories within Coleridge. The images throughout the poem relate to the last stanza because maybe Coleridge is trying to remember the images and that is what he is reviving.
