Definition:
Anastrophe is a form of literary device wherein the order of the noun and the adjective in the sentence is exchanged. In standard parlance and writing the adjective comes before the noun but when one is employing an anastrophe the noun is followed by the adjective. This reversed order creates a dramatic impact and lends weight to the description offered by the adjective.
Example:
He spoke of times past and future, and dreamt of things to be.
Wow, Thanks for the information!
Much to learn you still have
good meme
No sooner had he written it than he realized it was anastrophe.
No, that’s just clumsy wording. An anastrophe would be “Words he used, and thoughts, and strategy”
You see how it can give a simple everyday act a cloak of grandeur.
We talked about past times, that’s kind of ordinary and sad
We talked of times past, and you’ve got noble knights remembering the brotherhood of the Round Table.
Ya
Saying “life eternal ” instead of “eternal life” would be a good example of an anastrophe.
That’s was the best example👍🏼
