Members of the families in Beowulf which we have reason to think historic bear names which alliterate the one with the other.
"Beowulf An Introduction to the Study of the Poem with a Discussion of the Stories of Offa and Finn"
R. W. Chambers
Note, that not only do the names alliterate, but the alliteration is perfect.
"Beowulf An Introduction to the Study of the Poem with a Discussion of the Stories of Offa and Finn"
R. W. Chambers
Not all the words in all the tongues that ever were-dovetail them, rhyme them, alliterate them, torture them as you will-can ever pierce to the uttermost depths of the soul of man, and let in a glimpse of the Infinite, as do the inarticulate tremblings of those sixteen strings.
"Peter Ibbetson"
George Du Maurier
