Excerpt from Repetition and Parallelism in English Verse: A Study in the Technique of Poetry
Our rhetorics, in other words, have been constructed from a study of prose, whereas the devices permissible to poetry have been almost wholly overlooked.* It is my purpose in the following pages to direct attention to two structural peculiarities, occurring chiefly in lyric poetry, that seem to me to be deserving of much more generous recognition than has hitherto been accorded them. The rhet otics, it is true, usually devote several paragraphs to repetition and parallelism, the latter being treated under the head of the balanced sentence, but it is to be Observed that the functions of repetition and parallelism are widely different in prose and verse.
