These are called palindromes.

Here is a famous palindromic exchange between Adam and Eve:

  Adam:    Madam, I'm Adam.

  Eve:     Name no one, man.

When Napolean was asked about his experiences while in exile, he replied:

  Able was I ere I saw Elba!


Do you want more??? ... No, I didn't think so. I'll leave it at that.

Cheers,
Barry.
