Pronunciation

(/əˈnæfrə/)

Definition

An anaphora is a repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of consecutive clauses or sentences.

Examples

It was the best thing to do, it was the best idea of you.


Tired with all these, for restful death I cry,

As, to behold desert a beggar born,

And needy nothing trimm'd in jollity,

And purest faith unhappily forsworn,

And guilded honour shamefully misplaced,

And maiden virtue rudely strumpeted,

And right perfection wrongfully disgraced,

And strength by limping sway disabled,

And art made tongue-tied by authority,

And folly doctor-like controlling skill,

And simple truth miscall'd simplicity,

And captive good attending captain ill:

Tired with all these, from these would I be gone,

Save that, to die, I leave my love alone.

                      (Shakespeare)
