Sorry guys. I'm just realising a few awe-startling things with words stressed and unstressed and their connection to rhythm / grammar, and I need to jot these down somewhere. Somewhere being here.
What I learned:
If you want a rhythm that goes lifting, you get the low rhythm by long, stressed syllables (symphonies), assonance (sea wead; real wheel; [even if the sentence has consonance, assonances within will slow it (but not if there's a hyphen between the two words)) and the lilting one by: a, short syllables, b, consonance ending on ,consonants (river-quiver; timber women smolder).
Alliteration works for transition: it gives a fast rhythm from word 'x' to word 'y'.
