Anaphora
(rhetoric)
From Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia
In rhetoric, an Anaphora (Greek: ἀναφορά, "carrying back") is a rhetorical
device that consists of repeating a sequence of words at the
beginnings of neighboring clauses, thereby lending them emphasis.[1] In contrast, an epistrophe (or epiphora) is repeating words at the
clauses' ends.
Three examples:
1. From “I have a dream” , obviously “I have
a dream” and for other phrases starting with “Now is the time”, “one hundred
years later”
2.
One author well known for his use of anaphora is Charles Dickens (seen in quotation below).
The second one is a literature use from a novel “A Tale
of Two cities” by Charles Dickens
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way...

something I made up,

I am a crippled
I am the most useless man in the world but
Not as you are except Mr. Tame
