One of the most arresting songs on the album is “Spiral,” which consists of thirty-two amphibrachs—three-syllable lines, with the stress in the middle—building toward an affirmation:

Here the regular accent has yielded to an accent on the middle syllable and there are two amphibrachs.

There is still another foot, known as the amphibrach, which consists of three syllables, the second of which is accented, as in the word de-ni'-al.

Without this, months of reading of amphibrachs and trochees and dactyls will not avail.

Three irregular feet, the pyrrhic, the spondee, the amphibrach, are occasionally found in lines, but not in entire poems, and are often considered merely as substitutes for regular feet.
