"Hexameter" is a word in ENGLISH
Having six metrical feet, especially dactyls and
spondees.
A verse of six feet, the first four of which may be
either dactyls or spondees, the fifth must regularly be a dactyl, and
the sixth always a spondee. In this species of verse are composed the
Iliad of Homer and the Aeneid of Virgil. In English hexameters accent
takes the place of quantity.
I took a gap year myself after high school and worked on a farm near Lyon, France. I stayed with the Vallet family, picked and packed fruit, and discovered that red wine can be a breakfast drink. That led to further travel as a university student.
