📔 A Manual of the Figures of Rhetoric
Quotes from this book
Epistrophe many sentences will close /
With the same word, in verse as well as prose.
Apostrophe a bold digression makes, /
Mov'd by some sudden thought the theme awakes.
A Metaphor, in place of proper words, /
Resemblance puts; and dress to speech affords.
By Ecphonesis, straight the mind is raised /
When by a sudden flow of passion seized.
Hypotyposis persons, things, events, /
In vivid language to the eye presents.
Epanorthosis oft a phrase corrects, /
And feeble words, for stronger terms, rejects.
On words repeated Epanaphora plays, /
Or the same sense in other words conveys.
Anaphora elegantly begins /
With the same word or phrase successive lines.
Oft Synchoresis will a point concede, /
That other points with greater weight may plead.
By Epanodos the same word moves its place, /
Takes first and last and also middle space.
