Sorry, Dick. I see my dozy memory's acting in full force again. These days, I should check back for the facts. On the rest, I wasn't so much answering the question about quantitative metre, but expanding on Nigel's point about the use of sonics in Arabic and in some ghazals. The misquote was just to illustrate that and wasn't put up as a ghazal-like line in its own right,
