caesuras

• A back-and-forth between two fans, maybe in small tribute to his great dialogues, his willingness to note the caesuras as well as the torrent of articulations, his early collaborations. —  PopMatters
• The caesuras in his speech are maddening, like he's about to deliver the Newest Testament and he's waiting for you to carve every last one of his words into stone. —  Esquire.com Article Feed
• Mid-line caesuras are marked as in the original, with   additional   space Page numbers from the source MSS are shown as printed--inline in the prose passages, marginal in verse--with their original brackets. —  Selections from early Middle English, 1130-1250 Part I: Texts

• The caesura, though generally placed near the middle, may be placed at other intervals There are sometimes, also, two additional pauses in each line, called demi-caesuras The caesura is marked and the demi-caesura thus in the examples given There should be a marked accent upon the long syllable next preceding the caesura, and a slighter one upon that next before each of the demi-caesuras. —  McGuffey's Sixth Eclectic Reader
