Aspects of Internal Form

Abstract

We have now considered most of the stylistic features which are to be found in the Strofische Gedichten, but a few points still remain to be discussed. Until now we have dealt piecemeal with the various elements of the poems; we have now, in conclusion, to put the pieces together and consider the poems as a whole. In the Supplement I shall take two poems and try to show how the various devices are interwoven to form a harmonious whole; but before that it is necessary to make a few general remarks.
