blank verse 無韻詩。

blank wall

A stream of short stories flowed from his pen , and he branched out into the easier forms of verse - the kind he saw printed in the magazines - though he lost his head and wasted two weeks on a tragedy in blank verse , the swift rejection of which , by half a dozen magazines , dumfounded him 他有時又拐彎寫起較為平易的詩來他在雜志紀見到的那種。他還一時頭腦發熱花了兩個禮拜用素體詩寫了個悲劇。那劇本校六七個雜志退了稿,叫他大吃了一驚。

For a time , so steeped was he in the plays and in the many favorite passages that impressed themselves almost without effort on his brain , that all the world seemed to shape itself into forms of elizabethan tragedy or comedy and his very thoughts were in blank verse 好些他喜愛的段落幾乎毫不費力便印入了他的腦子。整個世界也似乎納入了伊麗莎白時代的悲劇和喜劇的模式里。連他思考問題也用起了素體詩。

Marlowe ’ s greatest achievement lies in that he perfected the blank verse and made it the principal medium of english drama 馬洛的藝術成就在于他完善了無韻體詩,并使之成為英國戲劇中最重要的文體形式。

But then shakespeare has no rhymes : blank verse 詩人就這樣合轍押韻。莎士比亞卻不用韻體。
