Coenotes (cee’-no-tees): Repetition of two different phrases: one at the beginning and the other at the end of successive paragraphs. Note: Composed of anaphora and epistrophe, coenotes is simply a more specific kind of symploce (the repetition of phrases, not merely words).
Hear me! We have journeyed a long, long way. And, I say, we are almost home.
Hear me! Our map is faith and our hope moves our tired feet. And, I say, we are almost home.
Hear me! We are going home to the place to rest, to break bread, to call our own! I can feel it! We are almost home!
