Sorry, I still think that an allusion to God was much more prevalent and meaningful than the repetition of the word “and” - I use the word “and” about 50 times in an essay, and I certainly am not appealing to repetition.



Actually, I remember eliminating repetition because of this line:

A god, a god their severance ruled!

There are parallel structures throughout the poem. And God is a very commonplace invocation now. But I’m not sure if there’s a story like that in the bible. If there is, then it’s an allusion. If it is, then CB will have to be answerable for framing a question more favorable to Christians (since it’s not a well-known story.)
