Write a note on Owen's Para rhyme used in his "Strange Meeting"

Pararhyme is sometimes referred to as double consonance. It is a particular feature of the poetry of Wilfred Owen; see, for example Strange Meeting: βAnd by his smile I knew that sullen hall, / By his dead smile I knew we stood in Hell.β The lack of rhyming sounds here and the very failure of two similar words to rhyme can provoke a sense of great discomfort and a sense that something is simply not quite right. It is a discordant note that matches well to the disturbing mood of the poem.
