Summary/Abstract: In this article the author seeks to define more precisely the atmosphere (the non-linear rhythm) of verse and the situation, which he sees as the unsymmetrical analysis of the basic evaluative approaches to the Ich and non-Ich. He creates a symmetrical structure of eight basic rhythmic qualities of atmosphere, and, after extensive psychosemantic research, finds 216 distinct rhythmic qualities in Czech verse. He then applies what he has discovered to a description of the atmosphere of six Czech lines, again based on his psychosemantic research into the evaluative approach.
