Types of syllabic verse

Syllabic poetry can also take a stanzaic form, as in Marianne Moore's poem "No Swan So Fine", in which the corresponding lines of each stanza have the same number of syllables. This poem comprises 2 stanzas, each with lines of 7, 8, 6, 8, 8, 5, and 9 syllables respectively. The indented lines rhyme.

The Rosetta stone is the code that revealed the mystery of Egyptian hieroglyphics allowing to the archeologist and to the scholars to read and interpreting inscriptions and reliefs like texts and tombs in a modern understanding. Thomas Young has shown first, then the French scholar Jean-François Champollion that provide the foundations of many information on the ancient Egyptian culture.

Finally in 1799, soldiers of Napoleon’s army found the Rosetta stone near the town of el-Rashid (Rosetta). Later, the stone became British property after  the Treaty of Alexandria (1801) and  has been presented in the British Museum since 1802.
