Description
Metrical theories agree upon the fundamental function of time as the basis along which the organizing principles in the perception of poetic rhythm are articulated. The fact that it plays an inescapable role in music--and indeed all human activities, from the circadian rhythms of biology to its presence in metaphysics--raises complex and wide-ranging questions about its role in the arts, questions that deal with concepts beyond the insights and epistemological principles of the linguistic theories that are the basis of most current metrical studies. There is a gap between the linguistic approach and that of literary criticism, and although it is a matter of contention, there is a certain tendency in some scholars from either field to make brief incursions into the opposing side. The aims of this paper are to briefly explore and survey the limits of some of the approaches in relation to the temporal element and to provide some examples from either field which could lead to an outline of a few shared perspectives. **********
