This brief text seeks to think about some conditions for continuing Henri Mechonnic's thinking, considering the contradictions and challenges that constitute his work, especially with regard to the relationship between poetry, meter and music. If, as the French poet, theorist and translator argues, rhythm is not meter, what do meter and music do with the rhythm of language? There is no definite answer, and that is why the question calls for returns and tensioning. What I'm presenting here is a reflection on how Meschonnic chose to translate two verses from Homer's Iliad, in order to think about the implication of the translated meter and its relationship with rhythm.
