The Brain of Contemplating is a poetic narrative concerning someone's character, originating in The Tireless Megalomania. The rules of the form are applied by poets to produce individual poems which can be recited. The poem is a single couplet. Use of vivid imagery is characteristic of the form. Every line of the poem has a medial caesura. The second line of the couplet shares the underlying meaning of the first line. The second line of the couplet is required to maintain the phrasing of the first line. The first line is intended to make an assertion. It has five feet with a syllable weight pattern of long-short-long (quantitative cretic pentameter). The second line is intended to invert the previous assertion. It must make use of assonance. It has three feet with a syllable weight pattern of long-short-long (quantitative cretic trimeter).
