Endjambent?

[rayheinrich]

(Though enjambment is a concept introduced by the French)

Well actually, it's been used as a deliberate technique for more than 3000 years -- the French can't just stick a new name on it and claim it as their own. Honestly, the Gaul of some people!

Well, in a way, the French are correct as the location of the
Chauvet Cave is in southern France. If you look at this 30,000
year old cave painting you can clearly see a break in the
syntactic unit after the third horse from left:



Of course France's claim is a bit broad because the painters,
technically, weren't French, they were Aurignacian.

Ha, ha, by this logic we can get to the beginning of the world or there is nothing new under the sun. Oh, Baudelaire!

New thing under the sun: I have this plastic* kitchen gadget. When I
enjamb an egg into it, it makes a cube-shaped egg. I doubt that not
even Mr. No-New-Thing (aka King Solomon) in all his glory had one of these.

*Plastic, BTW, is another new thing. And my cats (especially Bastet) are
new. And that yellow stuff you use to keep bats from squeaking, that's
definitely new.
