[Carol]

Carol earlier:
> Whitman's poem is free verse. 

Carol again:

Which is not to say that it has no identifiable sound patterns or
poetic devices, but I didn't want to bore anybody by pointing out
alliteration, assonance, and so forth. I'm sure you did at least note
the repeated refrain, "Beat! Beat! Drums! Blow! Bugles! Blow!" and the
idiosyncratic punctuation.

Carol, giving! it! a! rest!
