Elocution is the art of speaking language so as to make the thought it expresses clear and impressive.This is best done by speaking the language as we should speak it if the thought were ours, and the language came to us as we give it utterance.If the thought were ours, and we extemporized the language to express it, we should never fail to speak with good accent and good discretion; we should never fail to speak naturally and intelligently, and consequently impressively.
