Oct 11, 2013 at 14:42 comment added jocap It's actually quite an interesting question. Probably, this was totally fine 200 years ago, but is it gramatically correct now?

Aug 17, 2012 at 21:52 comment added Mitch Yes, it would sound very awkward in any speech other than possibly oratory (which tends towards the poetic). Grammar rules are messed with in poetry, not exactly anything goes, but whatever artistically 'works'. So 'grammatically correct for a poem' is pretty loose.

Aug 16, 2012 at 23:25 comment added tchrist @Luke No, Yoda does something else, actually. This is merely putting the most important word first in a sentence, something that English has done since OE, and to this day still does — on somewhat rare occasion, admittedly.
Aug 16, 2012 at 23:20 comment added Luke_0 It's completely correct. It reminds me of Yoda.
