everything is in everything (corrected)
I think I have made a mistake: everything's in everything is an epanadiplosisand not what I have said before: an antanaclasis
Epanadiplosis (from Ancient Greek ἐπαναδίπλωσις/epanadíplôsis, from ἐπί/epí, “on”, ἀνά/aná, “again”, and διπλόος/diplóos, “double”, “doubling in succession”)[1] is a figure of speech in which the same word is used at the end of a clause as at the beginning of a preceding clause. The opposite figure is anadiplosis. It allows for melodic and rhythmic interplay to suggest emphasis or humor. Epanadiplosis can also be used to emphasize a word, a group of words, or an idea.
Epanadiplosis is also a narrative figure used in many literary genres, which is called “narrative epanadiplosis”. It's the repetition of an initial scene or motif (in the incipit) at the plot's end (or clausule).
It suggests that the narrative is closed in on itself.
" Too much tax kills tax"
"Man can heal from everything, not from man. »
— Georges Bernanos
The figure can also confine to tautology:
"I am as I am. »
— Jacques Prévert,
"Childhood knows what it wants. She wants to get out of childhood. »
— Jean Cocteau
