Sentences with ASYNDETON (2)
The use of _tmesis, asyndeton, anacoluthon, aposiopesis, hyperbaton, hyperbole, litotes_, in Latin oratory and poetry.
The writer has aimed at the utmost literal fidelity consistent with the observance of all the usages of current standard English; he has not attempted, however, to convert the explosive appositions, with prevailing asyndeton and excessive synonymy, of his original into the easy, flowing sentences more familiar to modern eyes and ears, for the change would sacrifice altogether too much of the distinctive character and flavor of Old English poetry.
