The idea
Frost wrote blank verse in nineteen sixteen, McKay wrote rhymed sestets in nineteen twenty-two, and Yeats wrote quatrains throughout. The break was real and it was not total, so a modern passage may be in any form at all.
In practice
The break was real, not total.
Where people slip
A modern passage may be in any form.
