As it is for travelers to reach the fatherland, So is for writers the end of their book. |
| Comment | Bernard (2018: 36): "In the first verse, two kola of five syllables are combined, resulting in a ten-syllable ‘dodecasyllable’." Boeten, Janse (2018: 84-85): "Thus we find a pentasyllabic colon on either side of the strong caesura at B5, which is of course metrically irregular within the framework of the dodecasyllable, but nonetheless understandable because the pentasyllabic colon can occur both in pre- and post-caesural positions in a regular dodecasyllable." |
