The LITERARY TERM OF THE DAY is...........
Edited on Wed May-03-06 12:02 PM by henslee
Anaphora

-- the repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of successive phrases, clauses or lines.

*We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender. Churchill.

I know this is not really about books but heck.

2. Thanks, henslee.
The daily literary term is a splendid idea! At least I hope it is daily.
