Abstract
The companion essay on “The Oxen” in the previous issue had sought to respect the poem’s important critical, biographical and literary historical contexts while bringing out how much more there might be to say about a poem whose internal dynamics of skepticism and vision often inspire commentary rather than exploration or critical reading. This essay offers a close study of the workings of metre in “The Oxen” to argue that the poem’s meaning and effects are shaped extensively by an internal drama of voice and intonation.
