I'm a bit confused. Isn't the left margin always there? The right
_margin_ is then there too, in prose, as the line, or the sentence,
runs right out to it. So it's the line, stopping before the right
margin? Or, letting the left margin go, when finding ways to indent,
let the capital letter disappear, etc.?
Well, I do believe that the rhythms of poetry & prose do their work
differently, although in both cases, there is a rhythm (there are
rhythms) & it counts....
