It was the sinuous rills that reminded of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s poem.
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
Samuel Taylor Coleridge. 2022. βKubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge | Poetry Foundation.β Poetry Foundation. 2022. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43991/kubla-khan.
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round;
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
