Alliteration
In Poetry…
I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cryCame over houses from another
street
Acquainted With the Night, Robert Frost
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door-
Only this, and nothing more."
The Raven, Edgar Allen Poe
In Writing…
"I'll kill him though," he said. "In all his greatness and his glory."
Old Man and the Sea, Ernest Hemingway
Harry Potter's appearance did not endear him to the neighbors, who were the sort of people
who thought scruffiness ought to be punishable by law, but as he had hidden
himself behind a large hydrangea bush this evening he was quite invisible to passers-by.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, J. K. Rowling
