If the classical orators have modern counterparts in the realm of the written word, pre-eminent among those counterparts are the authors of opinion pieces. Here is persuasion overt, persuasion front and center. The epistrophe— where the repetition comes at the end rather than the beginning of a sentence. But repetition applies at a subtler level, too. The memorable or resonant phrase, for instance, is often Three centuries later, Thoreau — another of humanity’s most quotable and overquoted minds — made a similar point about the perils of mindlessly parroting the ideas of those who came before us, which produces only simulacra of truth.

Other Men’s Flowers (1944) is a deeply personal anthology com­piled by Archibald Percival Wavell, otherwise known as Field Marshal Earl Wavell, GCB, GCSI, GCIE, CMG, MC. We have on our shelves a copy of the attractively produced ‘memorial edition’, put together two years after his death in 1950, with an introduction by his son, also Archibald. Our volume has an inscription on the flyleaf, which was written by my brother to my husband, and was given to him as a present for acting as an usher at his wedding in 1977. I can­not imagine many young men giving this anthology as a present these days, although I am mighty glad my brother did.

However, he was also concerned at the Army's effectively intervening in politics, not least as there would be an even greater appearance of bias when the Army was used against industrial unrest.
