A spondee is a metrical foot in poetry that consists of two stressed syllables.
Here are some examples:
* "Break, break, break" (from Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem)
* "Dark, deep"
* "Strong, hold"
In classical poetry, the spondee was often used for emphasis or to create a sense of solemnity or grandeur.
In modern poetry, the spondee is less common, but it can still be used for similar effects.
