Poetic License Example?

Question

Can anyone give me an example of a poetic license, from a know poet? thanks

Answer 1

ANACHRONISM (uh-NAK-ruh-nizm)

The placement of an event, person, or thing out of its proper chronological relationship, sometimes unintentional, but often deliberate as an exercise of poetic license.

Sidelight: Anachronisms most frequently appear in imaginative portrayals with historical settings, such as a clock in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, and a reference to billiards in Antony and Cleopatra.
