caesuras
~Apex class of 2013 :D~
Audible pauses, like caesuras and enjambment, are not typically found in metaphysical poetry. Metaphysical poetry tends to focus on a harmonious flow of ideas and intricate metaphors, with a more regular rhythm and structure. The use of abrupt pauses or enjambment can disrupt the meditative and contemplative tone often associated with metaphysical poetry.
The central quality of metaphysical poetry is the use of complex metaphors, intellectual wit, and exploration of deep philosophical and spiritual themes. This is not typically found in cavalier poetry, which tends to focus more on themes of love, beauty, and nature with a lighter, more straightforward tone.
