Excerpt from Time in English Verse Rhythm: An Empirical Study of Typical Verses by the Graphic Method

The mere admission, however, that all verse is rhythmical tells very little about the nature of rhythm itself and still less about verse. It is here that all the confusion arises, for without an adequate determination of one or the other term no advance can be made. If rhythm could be defined once for all it would be feasible to apply this definition to verse. On the other hand if verse were once fully analyzed a definition of rhythm could be indirectly derived with some degree of assurance.
