http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrrhic

A pyrrhic is a metrical foot used in formal poetry. It consists of two unaccented, short syllables.[1] It is also known as a dibrach.

Tennyson used pyrrhics and spondees quite frequently. Here are some examples:

Be near me when my light is low,

When the blood creeps and the nerves prick
And tingle; and the heart is sick,

And all the wheels of Being slow.

-from In Memoriam.

Example above include "When the" and "and the" in the second line and "-le; and" in the third.

Pyrrhics alone are not used to construct an entire poem due to the monotonous effect.[2]

So, somebody want to do the grunt work to find out if this means anything in the poem?

From Thomas' comments

It's been over a year and a half! Not much time in the cosmic scheme of things, I know, but it feels like forever.Joanne and I lit a candle for you the other night. It's become a tradition every time we make Sunday evening pasta. We miss having you over for dinner, there are too many leftovers now! LOLI don't know what happened to all the other notes that used to be in this area. I guess when the book sold-out everyone's comments got deleted. Don't worry though, no one has forgotten about you.Stay strong Jonas, wherever you are.


I wonder could we look at cached pages of this site and see if they hid any messages there and deleted them? seems like thomas might be hinting at that.

"This is clearly the work of a madman, a lunatic, and I mean that in the best possible way. Human history is reclaimed from outdated notions that serve only as a forerunner to Volman's muddled, occasionally sloppy, but always compellling work. Had this book had a wider release, I am confident it would have sent shockwaves throughout the scientific community--Golden Wing Books, please reprint this important tome, or at least make more pages available through Amazon. I am certain humanity could benefit from learning more about the contents herein."

"Human history is reclaimed from outdated notions that serve only as a forerunner to Volman's muddled, occasionally sloppy, but always compellling work."

Would it mean anything useful? Also, he spelled compelling with 3 l's.

Just pointing out that in the thread entitled "Wow" on Amazon, Thomas says ... "is Is it being taught in University?" which is a distinctly un-American phrase. With my extensive experience and research (playing XBL) I've noticed that Australians speak like this, and I think that british kiddies do too... just pointing it out because maybe this Thomas feller is not from el americo

[MHDante]

That is a completely valid phrase with no regionalism, where are you getting this from?
