I made it link by link

Диккенс в Cristmas Carol иногда переходит на стихи, подчеркивая ими важное, как флуоресцентным маркером. Марли говорит о том, что свои цепи он сковал себе сам, звено за звеном; и ничьей вины тут нет. Реплики Скруджа – по контрасту – 100% проза. Стихи можно даже записать столбиком...

Again the spectre raised a cry,
and shook its chain
and wrung its shadowy hands. 

"You are fettered," said Scrooge, trembling. "Tell me why?" 

"I wear the chain I forged in life,"
replied the Ghost.
"I made it link by link,
and yard by yard…" etc.
