Is “generations now past” appropriate in Canada?
Is the word now grammatically correct in this usage or even necessary?
I am still learning to take a personal yoga class. Am I ready to change anything?
Yes, it’s correct, metrically preferable. Say this line with the ‘now’ and without while beating out the rhythm with your hand. Without the “now”, you get an extra measure/foot, and you can’t match up the rhythms of the two instances of “generations”.
