Despite much local opposition, plans are going ahead for the construction of a new Pleasure Dome near the sacred Alph river.
The site developer, Kubla Khan Inc, have promised area residents that the Pleasure Dome will provide much needed gardens bright with sinuous rills, where blossom many an incense-bearing tree. But opponents claim that the dome takes up twice five miles of fertile ground, and will create deep, romantic chasm in a once beloved parklands, become a savage place where wild-eyed women will wail for their demon lovers at all hours of the night.
"It's always the same," said one. "Someone builds a Pleasure Dome and next thing you know there's a string of honey-dew fast food restaurants and boozy milk-of-paradise bars blighting the neighborhood and the streets are full of loud ancestral voices prophesying war."

Our pleasure dome has a retractable roof. That's what they call progress around here.

Retractable roof? Bbviously not very "stately" then, and proably not "decreed" either, I'll wager.
