All the years of complaining about having to wedge evrything into MLA format have melted away from my mind. How could this be? You may ask…here’s the answer:
“Verse quotations of more than three lines should begin on a new line. Unless the quotation involves unusual spacing, indent each line one inch from the left margin and double-space between lines, adding no quotation marks that do not appear in the original.”
–MLA Handbook, 6th Edition
And there was much rejoicing.
