Paralipsis is also known as preterition (Lat. praeteritio ). Paralipsis has been used as synonymous with paralepsis (Gr., “a taking aside”), though the precision of this use is questionable.

And he likes to play games with his readers, in the ‘return’ from a digression, or by using the rhetorical device of occupatio or ‘refusal to tell’. This can be a kind of ‘frustrated digression’ (as in the ‘long digression’ on the destruction of Troy which we are not given). There are longer examples, like the refusal to ‘make mention’ of all the minstrelsy at Theseus's feast, the gifts, the ladies,...

In its intensity, it recalls the grotesque imagery of yet another Christmas poem in the volume, ‘A Nightmare, and the Next Thing’, with its vision of ‘a gray nightmare | Astride the day’. ‘He Resolves to Say No More’ is an example of the rhetorical figure known as occupatio , the refusal to speak (compare Hamlet's ‘The rest is silence’). Clearly, Hardy felt that it would stand at the end of his corpus, and he took pains over the poem, extensively revising it in draft and using a rhyme-scheme he uses nowhere else. It takes its opening line from the...

...of ownership ( Schulz , pp. 361–366 ; Kaser, Römisches Privatrecht , 26.I–III). These were distinguished from “civil-law” modes in that they were common to all and not limited to Roman citizens. They must be of some antiquity, especially the “seizing” of ownerless property ( occupatio ), and it seems doubtful that these would have originated in the classical period when Roman law had already acquired a measure of sophistication. These methods of acquiring ownership had probably existed as social facts since early Roman law but were only now classified as such...
