Quotations
In real life we often see a man under the influence of rage, or fear, […] begin a sentence, and then swerve aside into some inconsequent parenthesis, and then again double back to his original statement […] Now the figure hyperbaton is the means which is employed by the best writers to imitate these signs of natural emotion.
