But in sentence (l), he is "back" on earth.Pro-forms. Use a pronoun, pro-verb, or another pro-form to make explicit reference back to a form mentioned earlier. Russell uses the pronoun it extensively in the second paragraph to avoid the inelegant repetition of the word love in sentences (c) through (f).Collocation. Use a commonly paired or expected or highly probable word to connect one sentence to another. In our culture, the ideas of seeking and finding are often connected. Indeed, as children, most of us have probably played a game called Hide and Seek, where the two ideas are overtly collocated -- paired. Russell too uses the collocation of seeking and finding in the second paragraph, writing in sentences (c) through (f) that he sought [the past tense of seek] love, telling us in (f) that love is what he had eventually found. Enumeration. Use overt markers of sequence to highlight the connection between ideas. This system has many advantages: (a) it can link ideas that are otherwise completely unconnected, (b) it looks formal and distinctive, and (c) it promotes a second method of sentence cohesion, discussed in 7. Russell uses enumeration in two different ways in the passage. The very first word, three, organizes the whole passage by enumeration. Also, in the second paragraph, Russell uses enumeration to list the reasons for seeking love first: he lists the reasons with the words first, next [elegant variation for second], and finally [which is elegant variation for third].Parallelism. Repeat a sentence structure. Russell employs parallelism effectively in the second paragraph. Notice that sentences (c), (d), and (e) all have the same structure of subject , perfect auxiliary verb, main verb, direct object, enumerator, and subordinating conjunction: I have sought [love or it] [first, next, or finally] because....Transitions. Use a conjunction or conjunctive adverb to link sentences with particular logical relationships. Transitions can be subcategorized according to their meaning.Identity. Indicates sameness. that is, that is to say, in other words.Opposition. Indicates a contrast. but, yet, however, nevertheless, still, though, although, whereas, in contrast, rather.Addition. Indicates continuation. and, too, also, furthermore, moreover, in addition, besides, in the same way, again, another, similarly, a similar, the same.Cause and effect. therefore, so, consequently, as a consequence, thus, as a result, hence, it follows that, because, since, for.Indefinites. Indicates a logical connection of an unspecified type. in fact, indeed, now.Concession. Indicates a willingness to consider the other side. admittedly, I admit, true, I grant, of course, naturally, some believe, some people believe, it has been claimed that, once it was believed, there are those who would say.Exemplification. Indicates a shift from a more general or abstract idea to a more specific or concrete idea. for example, for instance, after all, an illustration of, even, indeed, in fact, it is true, of course, specifically, to be specific, that is, to illustrate, truly.Russell uses transitions of contrast and addition in sentences (l) and (o). In sum, if you feel that the passage is well-written, it seems reasonable to argue that part of that feeling stems from passage's coherence. The passage 'flows.'
