Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ...and 8p6povs KaWtffTadiovs &£eivoy Karh nbvrov.' Accurate rhythmical recitation of choral odes, so far from being inconsistent with due expressiveness, helps to reveal the effective harmony between sense and form. A fluent and distinct enunciation is needed, and careful practice, until the rhythm takes care of itself, or becomes only a sub-consciousness, while the mind of the reader dwells upon the thought, the imagery, and the feeling. in. : L_ iui _s L_ Ii v i_ _w_aii--w w II--w w I--w w I--w w I _ A II I. 4.4.4. 4. 4.
