In Virgil’s Aeneid (Latin hexameter), a hiatal caesura occurs when a word ends in a vowel and the next begins with a vowel across the caesura, as in “Arma virumque cano | Troiae qui primus ab oris”; In Milton’s Paradise Lost, Book I: “Of Man’s first disobedience, and the fruit / Of that forbidden tree,” the break between “fruit” and “Of” creates a hiatal caesura; In Dryden’s translation of the Aeneid: “Then from the bottom of the main he springs | Aloft, and on the surface swims and sings,” the vowel-vowel break at the caesura exemplifies hiatus with pause; In Pope’s Essay on Criticism: “True ease in writing comes from art, not chance, / As those move easiest who have learn’d to dance,” the caesura after “chance” leads into a vowel, forming a hiatal caesura; In classical Greek hexameter, such as Homer’s Iliad, lines like “μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ | Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος” demonstrate hiatal caesurae.
