====Poetry==== {{anchor|Caesura}}<!--linked-->A double vertical bar {{angle bracket|{{!}}{{!}}}} or {{angle bracket|β}}{{Citation needed|date=February 2025 |reason=Is this actually the right Unicode character to use? Or is only correct to use two regular vertical bars?}} is the standard ''[[caesura]] mark'' in English [[literary criticism]] and analysis. It marks the strong break or [[caesura]] common to many forms of [[poetry]], particularly [[Old English poetry|Old English verse]]. It is also traditionally used to mark the division between lines of verse printed as prose (the style preferred by [[Oxford University Press]]), though it is now often replaced by the [[forward slash]].{{citation needed|date=May 2024}} {{anchor|Bible|Bibles|Biblical}}
