ThePrinceofMagnets Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 The epigraph for chapter Nine of The Way of Kings is: "Ten people, with Shardblades alight, standing before a wall of black and white and red" I wish that Sanderson had written "...standing before a wall of black and red and white" The rhyme is subtle, but delicious 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junior Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 He used the traditional phrasing! I can see the look on your face, and I know you're wondering why I said what I did...? I guess I need to provide an example... "What's black and white and red all over?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePrinceofMagnets Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 />I don't think your suggestion rhymes well, to big differences in syllables and the 2 "and"s disrupt the flow further. Light and white rhyme just fine methinks, whether of not the whole thing flows well is something else entirely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
