    Parallelism: Learning to write beautifully

    The Rule of three:

    A generation ago most scholars believed that an overarching


    worldview—conservative, deeply Christian and essentially
    medieval in its commitment to order and hierarchy—shaped the
    concerns and defined the intellectual limits of Shakespeare and
    other Elizabethan dramatists.

    Polysyndeton: the politics of polysyndeton

    "In years gone by, there were in every community men and
    women who spoke the language of duty and morality and loyalty
    and obligation."

     William F. Buckley

    and Asyndeton:

    In books I find the dead as if they were alive; in books I foresee


    things to come; in books warlike affairs are set forth; from books
    come forth the laws of peace. --Richard de Bury
