Concatenated enthymemes

Isn’t that phrase sheer poetry in motion?!

Hi mav,
Your link sent me to the silva rhetorica homepage. This increased my curiosity about the phrase you had in mind..

That rhetoric web page is fascinating. Thanks for the link!

Sorry about that, Werner. I was looking at the entry of

so-ri'-tes from Gk. soros, "heap"

Concatenated enthymemes. That is, a chain of claims and reasons which build upon one another.

Yep, it's a great reference isn't it Alex? I sometimes wander through the glades, in memory of an old friend

some variation on tautology?

and yes, the rhythm in the phrase is quite pleasant.
