The first sentence poses as a fairly simple sketch of a glorious battle scene. The second begins in the same fashion, but its words are arranged in a way that maximizes the effect of surprise that comes at the end of the sentence. The cannons are slipped in as the final member of a list of military musical instruments; the formation of the list creates an expectation that the final element will fit nicely into the set. It doesnât, but we donât have time to register our surprise because weâre immediately distracted by a new setup with the phrase âsuch harmony as never was heardâ¦.â We expect harmony to be something beautiful, and we already begin to supply the final word (Earth? Heaven?) whenâsurpriseâwe are jolted by the word that Voltaire chose instead: Hell. The syntax in this sentence is brilliant.
Tactics for Syntax
Syntax is simply another way of talking about grammar and sentence structure.
