i’m writing an explication, and i cannot think of the term that describes a broken line of iambic pentameter.
i.e. (frost at midnight, coleridge)
Echo or mirro seeking of itself,
And makes a toy of Thought.
But O! how oft,
How oft, at school, etc.
thanks
dammit that wasnt formatted correctly
Echo or mirro seeking of itself,
And makes a toy of Thought.
<SPACE>--------------------But O! how oft,
How oft, at school, etc.
I’m sorry. I don’t know the answer to your q. My guess would be an ellipsis, but I don’t know. However, I also want to pirate your OP to raise a q. of my own, which I’m sure you know the answer. What do you call it when you have an internal rhyme?
