24、lelism of four clauses beginning with the word before and proceeding with similar grammatical patterns. Then note the parallel list of sneaker attributes: gelatinized, Energaired and so on.

38、uel Johnson, 1791),On days when warmth is the mo,And the more I thought over what I had got to say, the less I found I could say it, without some reference to this intangible or intractable question. It made all the difference, in asserting any principle of war, whether one assumed that a discharge

The primary units of meaning, of course, are words. But balanced and parallel constructions do reinforce and enrich mean
