Professor Ament's Glossary of Terms in Rhetoric
praeteritio
Or my own favorite:
synecdoche:
*I should have been a pair of ragged claws
Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.
T. S. Eliot, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"
p.s. Don't forget:
pleonasm:
Prof Naomi Breslau introduced me to pleonasm in a paper we were critiquing. I had not encountered that term since I was born.
