metre
Say, what other metre is it
Than the meeting of the eyes?
Nature poureth into nature
Through the channels of that feature
Riding on the ray of sight,
Fleeter far than whirlwinds go.
Or for service, or delight,
Hearts to hearts their meaning show. [ Emerson ]
Music is the metre of this poetic movement, and is an invisible dance, as dancing is a silent music. [ Richter ]
Man is the metre of all things, the hand is the instrument of instruments, and the mind is the form of forms. [ Aristotle ]
