It must be remembered that there can be no contrast until there is something to be contrasted with. It is not always true that the first term of the contrast appears first in the reading, for poetry, and sometimes prose often dislodges a word, or turns a sentence about, so that its construction is as irregular to the English mind as is the formation of long Latin sentences. It must not be supposed because a second term of the contrast is made emphatic, that the first term is not emphatic at all. The first term of the contrast is not made emphatic under the Rule of Contrast, but may be under another affirmative rule. Thus, in the following quotation, the first term of the contrast is involved in the occasion under Rule 6 and the last term is made emphatic under the present rule: -- "It is a beautiful day, althougn it is rather warm; when night comes we will go to ride." There are four groups in this sentence. The first group is, "It is a beautiful day." Here we have only one leading idea. "Day" is involved in Rule 6. "Although it is rather warm" contains but one emphatic word, and that would depend upon what the context was. If the subject of warmth had never been mentioned at all the emphasis would fall upon the last word of the group. "Day" is involved under Rule 3. If, just before this, the party had said it was warm or had referred to the warmth, warm would be involved, and the emphasis would fall upon "although." Such words as though and although and their like when introducing an involved expression are generally made emphatic under the Rule of Contrast as will be explained hereafter...
