Repetition

Definition

Repetition of a sound, syllable, word, phrase, line, stanza, or metrical pattern is a basic unifying device in all poetry

Example

Because I do not hope to turn again
Because I do not hope
Because I do not hope to turn....

Significance

It's significant because it shows that the author is trying to emphasize a certain point. He or she is trying to bring whatever they're repeating into the reader's attention.
