What is scansion?

A system of scansion is a way to mark the metrical patterns of a line of poetry. In classical poetry, these patterns are based on the different lengths of each vowel sound, and in English poetry, they are based on the different stresses placed on each syllable. In both cases, the meter often has a regular foot.

How do I read scansion marks?

Over the years, many different systems have been established to mark the scansion of a poem.

Classical notation uses a macron ( - ) for long syllables and a breve (˘) for short syllables..

I let my neighbor know beyond the hill;
And on a day we meet to walk the line

We keep the wall between us as we go

Sperm whales skim the brine and hoist the wavedunes with barnacled fins leviathan roads poised gobsmacked bubbling

The Public Declaration Toward a Stoic Aesthetic

Τῶν ὄντων τὰ μέν ἐστιν ἐφ᾽ ἡμῖν, τὰ δὲ οὐκ ἐφ᾽ ἡμῖν. -Ἐπίκτητος

Statement of intent, I wish to promote an artistic expression of control and demote modes which exults the weakening of control. Before we proceed we ought to define terms. By control I mean it as that which is in our power, or moreover, that which is in us in contradistinction to all that which is without. That which is without are all things outside the mind. That is the foundational boundary of control. Its symmetry, the depths of the inner world and the expanse of the outer world, is the foundational concept toward the stoic aesthetic principle of beauty.
