He had only realised the strength and passion of his own belligerent opinions as he had heard them, and as he walked back with his wife through the village to the Dower House, he was still in the swirl of this self-discovery; he was darkly silent, devising fiercely denunciatory phrases against Krupp and Kaiser. "Krupp and Kaiser," he grasped that obvious, convenient alliteration.
"Troja" was then further corrupted to "Tronje" and "Tronege". Hagen was therefore originally a Frank and had no connection with the Burgundian kings, as the lack of alliteration also goes to show.
This line, also from Beowulf has eight syllables: "N=ipende niht, and norðan wind." Noisome night, and northern wind. Vowel alliteration is less common. Where this is employed, the vowels are generally different, as is shown in the principal words of the following line: "On =ead, on =aeht, on eorcan st=an." On wealth, on goods, on precious stone.
And then the additional publicity of such a prosecution, and the twang of false romance which would follow and the horrid alliteration of the story of the two beasts, and all the ridicule of the incidents, crowded upon his mind, and he walked forth from the Shadrach office among the throngs of the city a wretched and almost despairing man. A Friend in Need Is a Friend Indeed
She rather liked the alliteration and the variations of the feet. She thought that her word choice was rather masterful although she wondered if the rhyme scheme wasn't a bit excessive. "Gabriele. Will you play checkers with me?" he said through the door "I'm working," she said mildly "There's nobody in there with you." "I'm thinking. Thinking is working." "There's nobody in there with you.
Such were the names by which they were called by all who knew them in the town of Monmouth, where they lived. Alliteration had "lent its artful aid" in giving these nicknames; but they were not misapplied. Mr. Bettesworth was an indolent man, fond of his pipe, and fonder of building castles in the air by his fireside. Mrs.
That the "multiform" poet executed all these tasks with equal neatness, that he elaborated hexameters out of a language of by no means dactylic structure, and that without checking the natural flow of his style he moved with confidence and freedom amidst unwonted measures and forms are so many evidences of his extraordinary plastic talent, which was in fact more Greek than Roman; where he offends us, the offence is owing much more frequently to Greek alliteration than to Roman ruggedness.
Examples of this are: "Look before you leap." The proverb "A stitch in time saves nine" has something of both these attractions, though it is not exactly a rhyme. Other examples of alliteration in proverbs are: "Delays are dangerous," "Speech is silvern, silence is golden."
Many proverbs have remained in the English language, not so much for the wisdom they contain as for the way in which they express it. Some are in the form of a rhyme as, "Birds of a feather flock together," and "East and west, home is best." These are always favourites. Others catch the ear because of their alliteration; that is to say, two or three of their words begin with the same letter.
Alliteration is so liable to be abused that we can scarcely be too sparing of it; and yet it is a trick that seems to grow upon the author with years. It is a pity to see fine verses, such as some in 'Demos, absolutely spoiled by the recurrence of one wearisome consonant. Salvini closed his short visit to Edinburgh by a performance of Macbeth.
