What reading level is A Study of Metre book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To sup- pose them blent in a rhythm composed of both is surely to contradict the verdict of our ears.
This does not, however, prevent rapid transition 115 A STUDY OF METRE from one to the other. It does not imply that duple and triple time may not alternate in our verse, as hexameter and iambic did in Gf-reek.^ Here, fortun- ately, theory may give place to example. A chorus in Mr. Swinburne's " Erechtheus " runs thus : With a leap of his limbs as a lion's, a cry from his Ups as of thunder.
In a... storm of amorous godhead filled with fire, From the height of the heaven that was rent with the roar of his coming in sunder Sprang the strong God on the spoil of his desire." This speaks for itself. Here, beyond doubt, are lines of triple rhythm alternated with lines of duple.
It will be seen how remarkable is the effect, how striking the contrast, intensified by change from rising cadence in the odd lines to falling in the even.
I know of no exact parallel in English poetry. But the uniqueness is due mainly to continuity of rapid change, successive single lines alternating with regu- larity.
