Many ancient cultures revered poets as seers who had a special relationship with the gods. How does the last stanza of "Kubla Khan" refer to this?

Note how in the last stanza we are presented with a figure
that appears to be all-powerful and given strange abilities. The people feel the need to
protect themselves from the poet using a ritual, weaving a circle around him three
times. They also regard him with intense fear, because of his physical
appearance:

And all should cry, Beware!
Beware!

His flashing eyes, his floating
hair!

Weave a circle round him
thrice,

And close your eyes with holy
dread,

For he on honeydew hath
fed,

And drunk the milk of
paradise.

Note how the
description of the poet confirms the other-wordly nature of him and reinforces his role
of seer or of one who is in communion with the Gods or spirits. He has "flashing eyes"
and "floating hair." He evokes fear in the people because of the way tha the has feasted
on "honeydew" and drunk "the milk of paradise." As such, we see the poet referred to in
the last stanza is a character who evokes both fear and
reverence.
