Excerpt from The Son of Man: An EpicRhythm will stand two unaccented syllables with every accented one, as can plainly be seen in the above quotations, three unaccented syllables together destroys the ¿ow of rhythm, so two may be taken both as allowable and as the limit. Therefore we have kept in mind accent rather than syllable as the unit, and have permitted ourselves to use either the iambic, which is the standard (the line is supposedly nu rhymed iambic pentameter), or the anapaest, which is a substitution, at will and other substitutions, as the trochee and dactyl, when their effect is deemed more desirable. We confess that our verse may be a bit rough in places, but better so than sickeningly smooth. Monotony is the curse of verse! We could, if we wished, have made our lines as smooth as those polished writers whose attempts at poetry (too often they partly succeeded) trouble him who reads as well as censure him who wrote.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
