I don't think there is Caesura in this poem as stated at 4:19. Caesura doesnt mean pause, it means punctuation mid line that breaks flow. See ChatGPT thoughts below. Have I misunderstood something? Open to thoughts/debate! But I think the video may be wrong...? ChatGPT answer to my questioning the video potentially mislabelling caesura. What is caesura? • Traditional Definition: A caesura is a deliberate pause in a line of poetry, typically marked by punctuation like a comma, dash, or period in the middle of the line. It breaks the rhythm and creates a moment of reflection or emphasis. Can caesura occur at the end of a line? No, caesura refers specifically to pauses within a line. If the pause occurs at the end of a line, it’s called end-stopping instead. However, sometimes a caesura and end-stopping might work together if the thought “flows” over multiple lines, but the punctuation creates a pause mid-thought. What might the video mean? • The video might be mislabeling end-stopping as caesura if it’s referring to punctuation at the end of the line (e.g., periods or commas at the line breaks in Shelley’s poem). • Alternatively, the video might be interpreting natural pauses in reading (even without punctuation) as caesura, which is a looser interpretation but less technically accurate. In “Love’s Philosophy”: Most pauses in the poem occur at the ends of lines, making them end-stopped lines rather than caesurae. For example: “See the mountains kiss high heaven, And the waves clasp one another;” If there’s no clear punctuation mid-line, it would not be a caesura. It seems the video might be mistaken or using the term loosely.
