Acte 2 (Noeud Dramatique)

Legendary was the Xanadu where Kubla Khan decreed his stately pleasure dome
Today almost as legendary as London's Xanadu... the world's largest private pleasure ground
Here on the shore of the Thames, a private mountain was commissioned and successfully built
One hundred thousand trees, Twenty thousand tons of marble are the ingredients of Xanadu's mountain
Contents of Xanadu's palace: Paintings. Pictures. Statues. Various stones of many other palaces
A collection of everything
So big it can never be catalogued or appraised
Enough for 10 museums

The biggest private zoo since Noah

Like the Pharaohs, Xanadu's landlord leaves many stones to mark his grave
Since the Pyramids, Xanadu is the costliest monument a man has built to himself
