	Musica Poetica Figures
		Circumlocutions are rhetorically useful as euphemisms, as a method of amplification, or to hint at something without stating it.
		For those figures that are both literary and musical, clicking the figure name link takes you to Silva rhetoricae for literary information.

	Filologia 12 (1999) Luis CARLOS REYES
		Devices such as: chiasmus; inverted semantic chiasmus; polysyndeton; antithesis; inclusio; isocolon; paronomasia; parallelism; distributio; alliteration; anaphora; compactness; epanaphora; figures of speech; and repetition; clearly demonstrate that the author had some knowledge of Greek rhetoric.
		Thus the Hymn almost opens and closes with the rhetorical technique of isocolon, which in turn forms what appears to be an inclusio that encloses the hymn together.
		Thus it is no wonder that in items 5-12 the author explodes with a barrage of rhetorical devices to highly emphasize his argument.

	Amazon.com: Books: End Zone
		The story of an angst-ridden, war-obsessed running back for Logos College in West Texas, End Zone is a heady and hilarious conflation of Cold War existentialism and the parodied parallelism of battlefield/sports rhetoric.
		End Zone gives us Don DeLillo in his element, commenting on the American condition through one of its most indellible pasttimes, college football, and with hilarious results.
		For Gary, football is an end unto itself, whose jargon and primitive physical contact provides him with an alternative system of meaning away from the ascetic chaos of the postmodern world.

	Stylistic Features of Latin Verse and Prose - Wikibooks
		Parallelism is a stylistic device common in Latin in which two sentences have similar syntax.
		This is a brief glossary of stylistic features often found in Latin especially in rhetoric and poetry.
		Analysis: In both sentences the nominative is placed first and the principal verb is last.

	Chapter 14
		18 Kemke, Stesichorus is pictured as putting a stop to discord among the people of a city, by singing in their midst, just as Terpander had reputedly done in Sparta (ibid.); in another mention of this parallelism between Stesichorus and Terpander, Philodemus describes the social discord as stasis (On Music, p.
		In one of these, as reported by Aristotle Rhetoric 1394b35 (Stesichorus PMG 281b), Stesichorus warns the people of Locri that they should not be hubristai 'men of hubris', and his words are described as ainigmatôdê 'like ainigmata [riddling utterances]' (ibid.).
		Paradoxically the dactylo-epitrites of the earlier figure, Stesichorus, seem to be less conservative at least in one respect than those of the later figure, Pindar, in that the rules of Stesichorean meter are moving in the direction of epic by tolerating the substitution of n_oo_oo__ for x_oo_oo__ {FORMAT}.

	Glossary-r
		Rhetorical parallelism is the most frequent Hebraic poetic structure found in the Bible.
		Rhetoric is the study of the various kinds of forms and impact that utterances have.
		Note that the ISV nicely restructures the rhetorical question to begin in the form of a statement, "It is written," followed by the question tag, "is it not".

	X
		As a grammatical and rhetorical device, the figure of a chiasm corresponds, basically, to inverted parallelism.
		It is not without interest to note that this figure has received rather negative valorization from the early scholiasts on to the more recent standard handbooks of rhetoric.
		As distinct from chiasm--a distinction largely responsible for the relegation of chiasm to a secondary and merely ornamental role--the hysteron proteron is said to serve as principle for creating continuity without the use of transitory particles between multitermed and contrasting passages.

	George W. Bush’s 9/11 Reichstag fire -
		Numerous political analysts drew parallelism between the White House’s repetitive 9/11 rhetoric, recrimination and retaliation and Reichstag fire.
		He used the September 11 tragedy in much the way the Nazis jumped on the Reichstag fire, ignoring the damaged caused to his country and nation.
		And as the nation was busy mourning those who lost their lives in one of the most twisted acts of “terrorism" imaginable, Bush's brother Jeb made another mockery of the election process.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Phineas Finn, the Irish Member
		As Phineas becomes disgusted with the dishonest rhetoric of parliamentary hacks whose only concern is to keep their party in office, he yearns for the independence he cannot afford.
		Though Phineas Finn, as we have seen, does not use self-contained subplots, Trollope links the story of Phineas’s political involvements, the novel& primary focus, to the story of his romantic adventures, its secondary focus, by the same method he generally uses to link his main plot to his subplots: thematic parallelism.
		Though Phineas is attracted to Marie and though marriage to her would enable him to retain his seat in Parliament without sacrificing his independence, Phineas remains true to Mary.

	In the Skin of a Lion as a Cubist Novel
		Although Cubist writing is notoriously difficult to define, In the Skin of a Lion does display what Wendy Steiner sees as the two central aspects of the Cubist analogy in her book The Colors of Rhetoric (1982): stylistic parallelism and a comparison of ideologies.
		In the Skin of a Lion does not contain a tension between representational and non-representational elements, in that it does not deviate as far from a mimetic view of reality as does Berger's G., gaps and indeterminacies notwithstanding.
		The indirectness with which In the Skin of a Lion is narrated shows Ondaatje's rejection of what Berger calls the 'straight story sequentially unfolding in time.' Rather than being led through consecutive episodes, we are advised to '[m]eander' if we wish to discern order in the plot (146).

	Amazon.com: The Eloquent President : A Portrait of Lincoln Through His Words: Books: Ronald C. White Jr.
		Lincoln made heavy use of alliteration, antithesis, assonance, asyndeton, ellipsis, erotema, isocolon, parallelism -- practically a dictionary of rhetoric -- which White too rarely refers to by name.
		White looks at the progression of Lincoln's thought and the increasing greatness and eloquence of his speeches and public letters during his presidency that leads to that final and considered by many to be his greatest major speech.
		In many of the speeches, White demonstrates that Lincoln leaves the audience with thoughts and ideas that his mind is still wrestling with that are picked up again in a later speech and developed more fully as his thoughts on those subjects have matured over time.

	Chiasmus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Today, chiasmus is applied fairly broadly to any "criss-cross" structure, although in classical rhetoric, it would have been distinguished from other similar devices, especially antimetabole.
		Chiasmus is a figure of speech based on inverted parallelism.
		Chiasmus is not limited to an exchange of words; it can also involve the exchange of letters or syllables, as in "I’d Rather Have A Bottle In Front Of Me (Than A Frontal Lobotomy)," or the flipping of syntactical structures, as in "I love too much and too little hate."

	In the Skin of a Lion as a Cubist Novel
		Although Cubist writing is notoriously difficult to define, In the Skin of a Lion does display what Wendy Steiner sees as the two central aspects of the Cubist analogy in her book The Colors of Rhetoric (1982): stylistic parallelism and a comparison of ideologies.
		One might argue that Cubist techniques are notoriously difficult to sustain in prose, on account of their heightened spatial emphasis, and that even those novels that are widely viewed as experimental and as belonging to the literary Cubist genre, such as Gertrude Stein's The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas (1933), contain much conventionally linear writing.
		In a Cubist painting, according to Berger, 'the complexity of the forms and the ''discontinuity'' of space remind [the spectator] that his view from that place is bound to be only partial' ('The Moment of Cubism,' 25).
