	Paul Foot: Poetry of protest (1992)
		He was resolutely revolutionary all his life – but his confidence ebbed and flowed according to the ebb and flow of popular movements and uprisings.
		After his move to Italy in 1818 his best revolutionary poetry, especially the Ode to Liberty and Hellas, were written in tune with the European revolts of the time – in Spain, Naples and in Greece.
		Freedom, then, is not a ‘name, echoing from the cave of fame’ but ‘clothes and fire and food for the trampled multitude.’ It is justice (a system of law where what happens in the courts is not bought and sold), peace, wisdom (freedom from religion), science, poetry and thought.

	Versification - MSN Encarta
		In this system the constituents of the fundamental pattern of versification are the number of syllables to the line of verse and the arrangement of these syllables according to whether they are pronounced with a greater or lesser degree of energy—that is, whether they are accented or unaccented.
		Thus, in English poetry of almost all periods, the verse structure is created both by the fixed or varying numbers of syllables per line and by the constant alternation of accented and unaccented syllables in definite, recurring sequences within each line.
		This type of foot, called the iamb or iambic foot, is the most common in English verse.
