The transition of world agriculture from food grain to feed grains represents an...evil whose consequences may be far greater and longer lasting than any past examples of violence inflicted by men against their fellow human beings.
—Jeremy Rifkin trochee
A metrical foot of two syllables, one long (or stressed) and one short (or unstressed-the opposite of an iamb). Samuel Taylor Coleridge demonstrates the use of various kinds of metrical feet: "Trochee/ trips from/ long to/ short."
