Sentence examples for anastrophe from inspiring English sources

Inversion, also called anastrophe, in literary style and rhetoric, the syntactic reversal of the normal order of the words and phrases in a sentence, as, in English, the placing of an adjective after the noun it modifies ("the form divine"), a verb before its subject ("Came the dawn"), or a noun preceding its preposition ("worlds between").

Some of these affect structural variables such as the linear order of the words occurring in a sentence (e.g., parallelism, climax, anastrophe); others are semantic and arise upon using lexical expressions in a way not intended by their normal meaning (e.g., metaphor, metonymy, synecdoche).
