The dictionary contains a comprehensive Phrase-Finder Index that allows you to look up any key word in an expression and find the exact location of that expression in the main body of the dictionary.

قالب های شعری

قالب های شعری

•  Acrostic

قالب شعری که در آن، نخستین حرف یا آخرین حرف مصراع ها واژه، عبارت، یا جمله ای کلیدی می سازند. جفری چاسر (شاعر ادبیات انگلیسی میانه) شعری ۲۴ قطعه ای دارد که اگر اولین حرف نخستین واژه از هر استانزا (قطعه) را به یکدیگر متصل کنیم، الفبای انگلیسی (a,b,c,d,e,…) حاصل می شود.

مثال: «بدرود»، اثر William Anderson Ellis:

Farewell, dear, young friends
       though parting is painful
A sad separation approaches at last
Revilers may spurn me
       lost friends may chide me
Even then with much pleasure
       I’ll think on the past
When rivers divide us and
       hills rise between us
Even then I’ll remember
       your childhood bright days
Let not sad reflections
       a moment beguile you
Look forward with hope on
       future’s bright
