Ghost Architecture

From Margaret Holley's essay "Syllabics: Sweeter Melodies":

"What is heard [in syllabic verse] are the rhythms of prose; what is known and subliminally registered is the precision of the silent pattern...like the many silent rhythms of nature, [it] is there when you look for it, a governing principle that calls no attention to itself."
