Hugo's enjambement in Hernani produces a famous rejet: the phrase "l'escalier" is completed by "dérobé" at the beginning of the next line, the adjective "dérobé" (hidden, stolen) receiving explosive emphasis from its isolated initial position; Rimbaud's "Le Dormeur du val" uses rejet to project the poem's devastating final revelation across the line boundary: the soldier who appears to be sleeping in the valley is revealed in the closing rejet to have two red holes in his right side; A student identifying rejet in French poetry should look for syntactically important elements, particularly verbs, adjectives, or negatives, that appear at the very start of a line because enjambement from the previous line has pushed them forward; Verlaine uses gentle rejet to create the sense of thought arriving breathlessly at the beginning of a new line, as though the strict meter cannot quite contain the natural flow of his emotional meditations; The rejet of a single dramatic word to line-beginning is one of French poetry's most powerful expressive devices: placed in the position of maximum rhythmic prominence, the rejected word acquires an emphasis it could never achieve within the body of a line; In classical French theater, the rejet across the couplet boundary violated an even more severe prohibition than rejet within the alexandrin, and Romantic playwrights' use of this device was understood as a direct attack on the social and aesthetic order that classical form represented.
