The enjambment paradox

 Enjambment is the main way of going beyond the focus on the single line of verse. Enjambment leads to complexity, etc...

The paradox is that enjambment leads to prose poetry, in which there are no divisions at all. But, then, the effect of enjambment is lost, because the reader doesn't see or hear those divisions any more.
