Kublai Khan was his grand father
The dominant image in the middle of the poem Kubla Khan is a river bursting forth from the ground. The poem Kubla Khan was written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. He finished writing it in 1797, but it wasn't published until 1816.

As there is mention in the poem of caverns so deep they can't be measured, it seems to me that the sea could well be within a colossal cave where the sun never reaches it.
Kubla Khan was created in 1816.

"Kubla Khan" by Samuel Taylor ColeridgeIn Xanadu did Kubla KhanA stately pleasure-dome decree:Where Alph, the sacred river, ranThrough caverns measureless to manDown to a sunless sea.-----------------------------------The name of the pleasure-dome is not mentioned. Kublai Khan [1214-94] was the great khan of the Mongols, and later the Emperor of China. He was the grandson of Ghengis Khan. The poem is said to have been written by Coleridge when he was on an opium 'trip', and later he said he couldn't finish it because he was interrupted 'by a gentleman from Porlock' [a town in Cornwall] and couldn't remember later how he had intended to continue.
