A caesura is a poetic technique in which a line of verse is broken, similar to enjambment, but a line of verse broken by caesura generally contains meaning in itself, or serves as a rhythmic device. An example of caesura can be found in William Shakespeare's Othello:

Ah, balmy breath, that dost almost persuade |
