In this essay we consider how these two aspects of poetic style interact with&nbsp; the poet’s syntactic choices in the first poem of the Book of Lamentations (1:1-11) in order to determine to what extent the poetic&nbsp; constraints have hampered or warped the syntactic structures employed in the poetic lines or half-lines.</p> Jacobus A.
