Canto

The canto is a principal form of division in a long poem, especially the epic. The word comes from Italian, from the Latin canto, meaning "I sing," and has a corollary (but not a cognate) in the Sanskrit kāṇḍa, or "chapter." Famous examples of epic poetry which employ the canto division are Valmiki's The Ramayana (500 cantos), Dante's The Divine Comedy (100 cantos), and Ezra Pound's The Cantos (120 cantos).
