Corey Marks's "Gislebertus" (p 209)
-10 stanzas of varying constructions
-two main variants of stanza construction; the first is introduced in the second stanza and seen again in the fifth and ninth, the second is introduced in the third stanza and repeated in the 4th, 6th, 7th, and 10th
-this leaves the 1st and 8th stanzas as the only ones without corresponding stanzas
-four instances of italisizing: "12th century, St Lazare Cathedral, Autun" under the title, "craft", first word of the fifth stanza, two occurances of "his" in the ninth stanza's first line, and "Gislebertus/ hoc fecit" in the 2nd/3rd line of the 10th stanza
-frequent single- and two-word lines
-speaks of the Damned in the 6th stanza and refers to all damned in the 10th
-emphasis put on the making aspects of the art, such as hammering, pain, and decisions
