Abstrakt:	This essay argues that the cultural reception of thermodynamics in the late nineteenth century reformulated the concept of rhythm in an attempt to manage, mitigate, or acknowledge the problem of waste. Having demonstrated an overlooked historical dialectic between the thermal sciences and prosody, I conclude by reading A. C. Swinburne's Tristram of Lyonesse to demonstrate how rhythmical excess represents a positive expressive resource. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
