Anaphora

Anaphora is the repetition of a phrase or word at the beginning of a sentence, often for poetic effect. This picture represents Abraham Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address. Lincoln used anaphora in his speech when he said “With malice towards none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right”.

Another example of anaphora is Dr. Martin Luther King’s I Have a Dream speech. The words “I have a dream” are repeated multiple times for poetic emphasis.
