AnaphoraIn Christian liturgy, the anaphora is the part of the Liturgy or Mass having to do specifically with the Eucharist, as compared to scripture readings, etc. In rhetoric, anaphora is the repetition of the same few words at the beginning of several consecutive sentences for rhetorical effect. - We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender.
