C’est sur des photos (Jean-Pascal Dubost)
C'est sur des photos ou ailleurs des lieux, on ne bouge plus : les premiers mètres sur un vélo dans la cour, des animaux enfermés, de la volaille autour d'un bébé debout ; ces photos qui avec ou sans couleurs ne donneront jamais la mesure exacte du temps qui a pu s'écouler là, du poids des souvenirs impliqués, ni aucune idée de la taille des châteaux.

The metre's revolutionary #origins are as #thrilling as watching paint dry, with #ABC #News heroically summarizing its tumultuous #journey through time 🕰️. Spoiler alert: it still measures stuff 📏.

A uns 100 metres d’aquí hi ha una de les fites de la mesura de la base de les triangulacions de la mesura del meridià de París entre Dunkirk i Barcelona que serví per a determinar la longitud del metre
La base, entre aquesta fita i Salses, discorre avui sota la D900. Van mesurar la distància amb regles de toeses, a ma

Hermann's Bridge is the most fundamental feature of Homeric prosody.
You'll find a short syllable at the start of the line more often than you'll find a violation of Hermann's Bridge.

In Homer's dactylic hexameter, there are at least 53 lines that don't start with a dactyl (— ⏑⏑) or spondee (— —), but instead with an amphibrach (⏑ — ⏑), tribrach (⏑⏑⏑), or bacchius (⏑ — —).
(Commentators tend to claim that these are actually secretly dactylic anyway.)
Only 12 lines have a major violation of Hermann's Bridge.
Hermann's Bridge is stricter than the principle of starting the line with a long syllable.

Here are the most serious breaches of Hermann's Bridge in Homer, representing 0.036% of lines.
Other breaches are mitigated by enclitics (13x Il., 12x Od.), a 5-syllable word in the last colon (3x Il, 5x Od.), or a prepositional phrase (1x Il.).
In these,
1. The colon causing the breach is ⏑ — ⏑ in 7 out of 10 cases, — — ⏑ in the other 3.
2. In four, a breach of Varro's Bridge is averted by καί + vowel.
3. One, Od. 12.47, is mitigated by elision. -

The more you look into the Homeric hexameter, the more Hermann's Bridge intrudes on absolutely everything.
You want to put ἄειδε after the mid-line caesura for a change? Tough, you're not allowed.
You want to try switching up πλέων ἐπὶ οἴνοπα πόντον with a genitive πλέοντος ἐπ' αἴθοπα πόντον? Nope, not gonna happen.
Oh, so you wanna know why Wernicke's Law is a thing? Take one guess.
