Could we say that a caesurae complement metre sometimes? I mean, let's take such a metre (which has its name for sure, only I don't know it):
-/--/||-/--/
-/--/||-/--/
If we put weak beat in place of caesurae we'll get a masculine variation of the amphibrachic tetrameter (which may be strange for the English poetry(?), but is very natural for the Polish poets). I feel that the caesurae make the rhythm more rigid and more dance-like. Is it so? Is it the function of caesuras generally?
