If The Oarsmen Of A Fast-moving Ship Suddenly Cease To Row, The Suspension Of The Driving Force Of The Oars Doesn't Prevent The Vessel From Continuing To Move On Its Course. And With A Speech It Is Much The Same. After He Has Finished Reciting The Document, The Speaker Will Still Be Able To Maintain The Same Tone Without A Break, Borrowing Its Momentum And Impulse From The Passage He Has Just Read Out.
