VERSE PARAGRAPH – A very important development of blank verse, ensuring to it almost all the advantages of stanza in some ways, and more than all in others.  First reached by Shakespeare in drama, and by Milton in non-dramatic verse, it consists in so knitting a batch of blank-verse lines together by variation of pause, alternate use of stop and enjambment, and close connection of sense, that neither eye nor voice is disposed to make serious halt till the close of the paragraph is reached.  Thus an effect of concerted music is produced through the whole of it.  No one has ever been a great master of blank verse without being a master of this device; but perhaps the most special and elaborate command of it has been Tennyson's. 

– George Saintsbury, from Historical Manual of English Prosody (1910)
