OP Today's (28/01/2002) word of the day ended with a poetic quote:In reply to:So many gods, so many creeds, So many paths that wind and wind, While just
the art of being kind is all the sad world needs. -Ella Wheeler Wilcox,
poet (1850-1919)But can anyone tell me the poetic style which Ms. Wilcox uses above? I've only seen it on a few occasions but I believe it to be a quite romantic usage of words.
Those that can't see what I'm pointing at each line is broken up into two phrases ending in juxtaposed rhyming words. Creeds, wind followed by kind, needs.
One for the scholars amongst you methinks.
