These last devices which sometimes fling a brilliant radiance over a speech FINAL PBEPAEATION. 213 by a semblance of originality, by eccentric perceptions, by far-fetched approximations, and above all by strangeness of expression, run the risk almost invariably of sacrificing sense to sound, substance to form, and of superseding depth of thought and warmth of feeling by sound of words and an exaggerated oratorical delivery. You get to aim at efffect, that is, at astonishing your hearers and mak...ing them admire you; you therefore use every means of dazzling and confoimding them, which is nearly always done at the expense of your subject's truthfulness and of your own dignity. Besides, as you cannot extemporise these effective phrases, because the effect depends on a certain combination of words very difficult to arrange and spoilt if a single word be amiss, you have to compose these phrases beforehand, learn them by heart and know them literally; and even then you have still to get them into your discourse and to prepare their admission, in order that they may make a brilliant appearance and produce the wished-for effect.
