Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rhythm in Prose Illustrated: From Authors of the Nineteenth Century It is not easy to give a definition of rhythmic prose, because it is the ear alone which can hear and recognise its music. But it may be distinguished from poetry as a form of composition which is not bound by the limitations of some special metre, but is the harmonious com bination of many. Poetry may be likened to a melody which is distinctly heard, and which obeys certain rules of time and accent. Rhythmic prose can be compared to harmony, where many sounds blend and resolve in ways which the ear does not follow so readily.
