Note 225 — Chapter II · RHYTHM AS THE ESSENTIAL FACT OF POETRY (continued 2)

Meumann’s remarks on this subject are good, though they apply no further than the narrow circle of his experiments. See Untersuchungen, pp. 26, 35, 77. Grant Allen, Physiological Æsthetics, London, 1887, pp. 114 f., 118, is quite wide of the mark; facts of physiology, in this case, need very careful testing by the facts of poetry.
