Tim,
Does that oscilloscope printout confirm that there ARE true spondees in English poetry? If so, send a copy to Tim Steele
Is there any agreement (if one isn't one of Dana Gioia's students) on HOW many variant feet one can get away with in a line of IP? I vote for 2 per line, with pyrrhics and spondees (if such mythical creatures exist) being counted as "freebies". Any takers?
