Sentence Patterns in Gerard Manley Hopkins

<p>Rhetoric can be defined as "the use of.. .artifices or devices ...[purposes of] .. .persuasive or otherwise effective communication. It is an essential component of poetry, in which genre, communication of effect takes precedence even over communication of meaning. Rhetoric, of course, determines style, of which the major elements are diction or choice of vocabulary, figures of speech, known as "tropes," and patterns of sentence structure known as "schemes."</p> <p>It is the purpose of this paper to examine Gerard Manley Hopkins’ use of sentence patterns, that is, of rhetorical "schemes," as they contribute to the poetic effect of his Marian composition, "The Blessed Virgin Compared to the Air We Breathe."</p>
