A Conversation for The Great Vowel Shift
Long/short vowels - an important case!
Namaste Started conversation Jul 22, 2003
With regard to the importance of long/short vowel sounds I quote this passage from A Midsummer Night's Dream:
"In this moment so it came to pass
Titania waked and starightway loved an ass"
The trick is to say it with short vowels first then long vowels and still make it rhyme.
Had hysterics in my speech and drama lessons over this one!
