The most instructive application of this theory is found in a piece of poetry by Catulle Mendès, entitled Récapitulation, which begins as follows:
‘Rose, Emmeline,
Margueridette,
Odette,
Alix, Aline.
‘Paule, Hippolyte,
Lucy, Lucile,
Cécile,
Daphné, Mélite.
‘Artémidore,
Myrrha, Myrrhine,
Périne,
Naïs, Eudore.’
