Talk:Dorothea Celesia

Indolence
I found the poem Indolence at play.google.com and noticed it is not a blank verse but heroic couplet. Of course, the measure (iambic pentameter) is the same but there are regular rhymes in Dorothea Celesia's work.


 * Let loftier Poets touch a bolder string,
 * Hail, Indolence, thy powerful charms I sing;
 * In soothing strains majestically flow,
 * O teach these numbers without art to flow!
 * May they steal gently thro' each tranquil breast.
 * And lull by soft degrees the Soul to rest.

In blank verse rhymes occur only at the end of a paragraph or a scene in a drama. (Anagram16 (talk) 15:44, 12 February 2017 (UTC))


 * Oh good grief! This is what comes from not checking sources. Thanks! — scribbling  woman  18:03, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

Removal of "no footnotes" template
As there are now more references and footnotes, I have removed the template added in 2010. Any issues, please let me know! — scribbling  woman  18:04, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
