     ;I   hear   the   drums   of   the   battlements�察─  �he   said�察   ─�   。   。and   I   hear   the 

Drums of the Hill of Graves。 。 。; 

     And he listened a while�察�and Golden Bells was white。 

     ;I hear the Drums of the Dim Mountain�察─� 。 。and for a while he said 

nothing。 

     ;Those would be the drums of Yung Chang。 。 。; 

     ;I hear the Drums of Kai Yu Kwan�察─�he said。 

     ;Yes�察�Sanang�察�yes。;       Little Golden Bells was one quiver of fear。

     ;I hear the Drums of the Convent of the Red Monks�察─�said Sanang。 ;I 

hear drums calling the Tatar tribes。 。 。I hear the slap of saddles。 I hear the 

jingle of bits。 。 。I hear galloping ponies。 。 。; 

     ;Yes�察�Sanang�察�Oh�察�hurry�察�Sanang�         �hurry� ─�

     He listened a little while longer�察�and then he took off the Distant Ears。 

     ;Your man's saved�察─�he said。 

     Then little Golden Bells laughed and then she cried。             She caught Li 

Po's hand and laughed again and again she cried。            Sanang shook his head 

to get out of his ears the deafening noises of the world。 And Li Po smiled 

out of his sad eyes。 

     ;I think I'll go and write a marriage´song�察�Golden Bells。 

     ;Whom will you write the marriage´song for�察�Li Po�拭─�

     ;I'll write it for you�察�Golden Bells。; 

     ;But I'm not going to be married�察�Li Po。          There is no one。     I love no 

one�察�Li Po。     I do not。   I do not�察�indeed。; 

     ;Then take your lute and sing me the 'Song of the Willow Branches��' 

which is the saddest song in the world。; 

     She shook her head�察�and blushed。           ;I cannot sing that song�察�Li Po。 I 

don't feel like singing that song。; 

     ;Then I must write you another song�察�Little Golden Bells。 。 。;

                            CHAPTER XIII 



     And    now    when     Marco    Polo   was    rested   and   had   recovered�察   �they 

brought him from the Convent of the Red Monks to where the khan was in 

the city of Chandu。        Now�察�there were two palaces in Chandu�察�there was 

the   winter   palace�察  �which   was   of   marble�察  �and   the   summer   palace�察  �which 

was   of   gilt   cane。  Around   these   palaces   there   was   built   a   wall   sixteen 

miles in compass�察�and inside of it was a park of fountains�察�and rivers and 

brooks with the speckled trout in them�察�and meadows with the lark at her 

ease   in   the   grass�察  �and   trees   of   all   varieties   where   the   little   birds   do   be 

building and none to grudge them a home。              And all the wild animals were 

abundant�察  �the   timid   hare   and   the   wild   deer   and   the   wee   croaking   frogs�察�

long´legged   colts   by   their   white   mothers�察  �and   little   dogs   tumbling   over 

themselves      with   the  sport   of  spring。   Brown      bees   among     the  clover�察�

strawberries in profusion�察�trees would delight your eyes�察�and brown cows 

and black cows�察�and dappled moilies under the great leaves of them�察�and 

lambs would be snowy of fleece。            All the flowers of the world were there�察�

the paradise of wild things it was�察�the park of Kubla Khan。 

         ;In    Xanadu     did  Kubla    Khan�察─    �quoted    young    Randall�察        �A 

stately    pleasure   dome     decree�察      �Where      Alph�察   �the  sacred   river�察 �ran 

Through caverns measureless to man�察                 �Down to a sunless sea。            So 

twice five miles of fertile ground             With walls and towers were girdled 

round�此       �And there were gardens�察�bright with sinuous rills�察                 �Where 

blossomed       many    an   incense´bearing     tree�察      �And     here   were   forests 

ancient as the hills�察       �Enfolding sunny spots of greenery。; 

     ;Whose poem is that poem�察�Brian 0ge�拭─�

     ;It is a poem of Coleridge's�察�Malachi。; 

     ;I though it was maybe a poem of Colquitto Dall McCracken of Skye�察�

that one of you lads had put English on。           It is a poem of the head�察�you ken�察�

and Colquitto�察�being a dark man�察�could only see with the eye's ghost。                 But 

it hasn't the warmth�察�the life of the work of Blind Colquitto�察�Brian Oge�察�do 

you mind the poem Angus More Campbell of Rathlin wrote to Colquitto 

Dall�拭─�

see what we see�察�thou wouldst be tormented even as I am。 My sorrow�察�O 

God�察�that I was not stricken blind before I saw her amber�察�twisted hair� ─�

    ;That's it�察�that's it�察�Brian Oge。     But this is not the place to be talking 

of poetry。    There is no poetry in this story。 

    ;I will now tell you of Marco Polo and him entering the presence of 

the great khan。 。 。;

                            CHAPTER XIV 



     And    Marco     Polo   was   brought    into  the   presence。    And     among     all 

assembled there you could hear a pin drop。 

     At the north end of the great hall sat the Khan himself�察�and Marco Polo 

nearly dropped with surprise�察�for where he expected a great�察�magnificent 

figure    of  a  man�察  �with   majesty   shining     from   his  eyes�察  �he  saw    only   a 

pleasant�察�bearded man�察�not quarter so well dressed as the meanest servant 

on   the   room�察  �and   a   fine�察  �welcoming   smile   in   his   face。 His   throne   was 

elevated so that his feet were on the level of the heads of the kinsmen of 

the   Blood    Royal    beneath    him�察  �and   they   in  silk  and   ermine    and   fine 

brocades and jewels。         And beneath these were the barons and dukes and 

knights。     And beneath these were the captains of the fighting men�察�three 

thousand      and   three。   And    beneath    these   were    the  musicians     and   the 

sorcerers。     And behind Kubla Khan�察�very big�察�very erect�察�stood his three 

great   servants�察  �the   Keeper   of   the   Hunting   Leopards�察  �the   Keeper   of   the 

Speaking Drums�察�and the Keeper of the Khan's Swords。 

     And beside Kubla Khan�察�on a little throne�察�sat Golden Bells。 。 。 And it 

was the sight of her more than the sight of the great assembly that dumbed 

the   words   in   his   mouth。   And   Kubla   was   smiling   at   him�察  �and   she   was 

smiling�察�too。 

     And Kubla saw there was something wrong with him�察�that there was 

embarrassment on him and he rose from his�此�throne。 

     ;There is welcome for you here�察�Marco Polo�察�and no enmity。                     There 

is interest�察�in and eagerness for your message。              There is none here will 

criticize you or make it hard for you。            Let there be no shame on you in 

speaking before so many  people。            Say  what you have   to say as if   there 

were   nobody   here�察  �if   that   will   help   you�察  �barring   myself   and   the   little 

daughter beside me。 。 。; 

     ;O   Emperor�察─  �the   words   came   back   to   Marco   Polo�察   �and   ye�察  �great 

princes�察�dukes�察�and marquises�察�counts�察�knights�察�and burgesses�察�and people 

of all degrees who desire the light of the world�察�grace be to you and peace�察�

from God our Father�察�and from the Lord Jesus Christ� �

     ;The   message   I   have   to   give   you�察  �I   shall   give   in   the   words   of   Him�察�
