The basic rhymes in english are masculine, which is to say that the last syllable of the line is stressed: "lane" rhymes with "pain", but it also rhymes with "urbane" since the last syllable of "urbane" is stressed. "lane" does not rhyme with "methane".

More From James Fenton

My favorite rhymes are sort of half-rhymes where you might just get the vowel sound the same, but it's not really a true rhyme. that gives you far more flexibility to capture the feeling you're trying to express. but sometimes it's best not to have any rhyme.
Giving Feelings Trying
Grief does not end and love does not die and nothing fills its graven place. with grace, pain is transmuted into the gold of wisdom and compassion and the lesser coin of muted sadness and resignation; but something leaden of it remains, to become the kernel arond which more pain accretes (a black pearl): one pain becomes every other pain ... unless one strips away, one by one, the layers of pain to get to the heart of the pain - and this causes more pain, pain so intense as to feel like evisceration.
Pain Grief Heart
[rhyme is] but the invention of a barbarous age, to set off wretched matter and lame meter; ... not without cause therefore some both italian and spanish poets of prime note have rejected rhyme, ... as have also long since our best english tragedies, as... trivial and of no true musical delight; which [truly] consists only in apt numbers, fit quantity of syllables, and the sense variously drawn out from one verse into another, not in the jingling sound of like endings, a fault avoided by the learned ancients both in poetry and all good oratory.
Italian Numbers Long
I do not think stress is a legitimate topic of conversation, in public anyway. no one ever wants to hear how stressed out anyone else is, because most of the time everyone is stressed out. going on and on in detail about how stressed out i am isn’t conversation. it’ll never lead anywhere. no one is going to say, “wow, mindy, you really have it especially bad. i have heard some stories of stress, but this just takes the cake.
Stress Thinking Cake
Basic would never have surfaced because there was always a language better than basic for that purpose. that language was joss, which predated basic and was beautiful. but basic happened to be on a ge timesharing system that was done by dartmouth, and when ge decided to franchise that, it started spreading basic around just because it was there, not because it had any intrinsic merits whatsoever.
Beautiful Merit Purpose
The only way to be a champion is by going through these forced reps and the torture and pain. that's way i call it the torture routine. because it's like forced torture. torturing my body. what helps me is to think of this pain as pleasure. pain makes me grow. growing is what i want. therefore, for me pain is pleasure. and so when i am experiencing pain i'm in heaven. it's great. people suggest this is masochistic. but they're wrong. i like pain for a particular reason. i don't like needle's stuck in my arm. but i do like the pain that is necessary to be a champion.

I am done with great things and big things, great institutions and big success, and i am for those tiny, invisible molecular moral forces that work from individual to individual, creeping through the crannies of the world like so many rootlets, or like the capillary oozing of water, yet which if you give them time, will rend the hardest monuments of man's pride.
