anadiplosis (an-uh-duh-PLO-sis) noun
Rhetorical repetition at the beginning of a phrase of the word or
words with which the previous phrase ended; for example, He is a man
of loyalty--loyalty always firm.
[Late Latin anadiplosis, from Greek anadiplosis, from anadiploun, to
redouble : ana- + diploun, to double (from diplous, double).]
"In fact, alliteration is one of 10 schemes of repetition discussed by
the authors, as is anadiplosis (repetition of the last word of one
clause at the beginning of the following clause, as in the lyrics to the
song `Where Have All the Flowers Gone?')."
Stephen Wilbers, Rhetorical devices will help you write with style,
Minneapolis Star Tribune, Jan 8, 1999.

The man who thinks he can do without the world is indeed mistaken; but the
man who thinks the world cannot do without him is mistaken even worse.
-Francois, duc de La Rochefoucauld
