I want to know the precise literary term used in such a sentence as: "It is impossible for me to describe how the storm tossed the boat.."?
"It is impossible for me to describe how the storm tossed the boat like a ragdoll abused by a dog. It is superfluous for me to tell you how the waters filled the boat as the rain floods a basin, and it is redundant for me to explain how the lightning flashed across the sky as firebugs flicker at night." I.e. describing the very thing you assert to be indescribable.
