[Sca-cooks] OT but not OP: rhetoric

[jenne at fiedlerfamily.net]

Remember when we were talking about rhetorical devices:

>Good news: Peacham's Garden of Eloquence (1593) is now online at
>http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.03.0082
>It's basically a long list, well illustrated, of rhetorical tropes,
>schemes, and figures. Not a facsimile, but an electronic edition, so it's
>searchable. My favorite thing about Peacham: not only does he tell you
>what the figures are, but in the second edition (which is what this is)
>he tells you when NOT to use them!

"The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken
places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and
the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these
you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry."
-- E. Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms
