Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,
As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
A mighty fountain momently was forced:
Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst
Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,
Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher’s flail:
And ’mid these dancing rocks at once and ever
It flung up momently the sacred river. (Coleridge, “Kubla Khan”)

The whole excerpt is talking about how the rives comes rushing down, lie something that is created at each new moment. The main focus of the whole excerpt is the power and strength of the water and how it moves.
