[Ads-l] "Lose complete control" and its ilk

[W Brewer]

Hypallage. E.g., << Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I confess feeling
total guilt in using the handicapped bathroom in train stations ... Mea
culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa, ideo precor ...  (Yet I fear I shan't
stop atall, till caught. Meanwhile, it's worth the penance.)  >>
