trochee

Written in blank verse and mostly in iambic pentameter, though frequently flourished with spondees and trochees, the poem acknowledges the passage of time with more than a touch of sadness, tempered, however, with appreciation.

In all Eastern European syllabo-tonic systems the trochee is felt to be opposed to the iamb, being a national meter, a meter "of the folk" as opposed to a borrowed or bookish meter.

Submitted poems must adhere to the regulated poetic rhythm (vertical and trochee) and be written in correct classical Arabic without compromising its tune.

Metrically, this analysis produces three main aspects to generate stress assignment: (i) parse the word from left to right into moraic trochees to assign a foot; (ii) a foot is rendered extrametrical at the right edge of the word; and (iii) feet are grouped into a right-headed word constituent.

Auditory performances of both groups were compared with subtest groups of EARS test battery including Listening Progress Profile Test (LPPT) and Monosyllabic Trochee Polysyllabic Test (MTP) scores.

The poetic meter of the famous poem by William Blake called "The Lamb" is the base trochee. The Z=10.17 maximum value (Figure 6) is reached at n=11; i.e., the length of the fuzzy period is equal to 11.

For example, the trochee would pass as a peaceful and graceful rhythm.

Expositions of the poems begin with the basics, explaining terms like 'trochee' and quoting scriptural and other allusions, but they go on to examine musical and mimetic techniques, and to explore both the heights of Herbert's thinking and the depths of his spirituality.

The word "tetrameter" means four, and a trochee is a long syllable, or stressed syllable, followed by a short, or unstressed, one.

(8) By giving the phrase "judging others' writ" a weightier iambic rhythm than the swift trochee that begins "Writing thyself," Jonson forces his reader to pause over the word "judging," emphasizing its importance.

In the first line, "I am" is indeed "far from normal," neither an iamb nor a trochee (like the other feet in the line); as I have noted, when the phrase is repeated two lines later the two "I am[s]" are still not iambic but trochaic.

The mastery of the three-stress line, which Yeats first used in Responsibilities (1914) in "Friends" and "That The Night Come," and was to use throughout his career in such famous poems as "The Fisherman," "The Tower" (Part III), and "An Acre of Grass," is notjust a matter of repeated variation from the iambic norm; it is not enough to substitute a trochee for the first iamb of the line as Arnold often does (e.g., "Story of passionate life").

where the iamb is replaced by a trochee as, for example, is done very often by Sydney: Whiter indeed; more white than snow.

And, except for the opening trochee, she writes line two in iambic hexameter.
