Examples

“19th C, Alfred Tennyson, Supposed Confessions, The Collected Poems of Alfred Lord Tennyson, 1994, page 15, What if / Thou pleadest still, and seest me drive⟳ / Through utter dark a full-sail'd skiff, / Unpiloted i' the echoing dance⟳ / Of reboant whirlwinds, stooping low / Unto the death, not sunk!”

“[…]this scrolled silver rim of wash⟳ striking the shore first in the distance, then spreading all along the curve of the beach, its growing thunder and commotion now joined to the diminishing thunder of the train⟳, and now breaking reboant on our beach[…]”

“The fragmentary poems in The Branch Will Not Break⟳ afford⟳ many analogies to this kind of poem, in which the energy of constatation is not allowed to run⟳ out into verse, into some kind of normative, reboant movement, but is instead checked, baffled, splintered:[…].”

“She expected reboant halls and a ghoulishly scarred Slavic dwarf on call⟳ to fetch⟳ brains or whatever the mad scientist-in-chief wanted.”
