That's a rather long caesura. I remember once being in a theatre performance with that kind of caesura. Could have been Hamlet or something, and the various ingenuities of the director took so much time that he felt it appropriate to cut out a lot of that pesky Shakespeare text to compensate. That spread out the entertainment value to a degree where I considered my time better invested leaving in the intermission. Spreading the payload thin does not work for me. Now I've spread the payload of this reply rather thin. A long caesura. -- David Kastrup
