Prolonging every note with art;
And in a low expiring strain,
Play all the comfort o'er again.”

Repeating your ultimate word.”
J.G. Saxe Quotes Source: The Story of Echo
|

“The birds chaunt melody on every bush,
The snake lies rolled in the cheerful sun,
The green leaves quiver with the cooling wind,
And make a checkered shadow on the ground;
Under their sweet shade, Aaron, let us sit,
And whilst the babbling echo mocks the hounds,
Replying shrilly to the well-tuned horns,
As if a double hunt were heard at once,
Let us sit down and mark their yellowing noise;
And after conflict such as was supposed
The wand'ring prince and Dido once enjoyed,
When with a happy storm they were surprised,
And curtained with a counsel-keeping cave,
We may, each wreathed in the other's arms,
Our pastimes done, possess a golden slumber,
Whiles hounds and horns and sweet melodious birds
Be unto us as is a nurse's song
Of lullaby to bring her babe asleep.”
William Shakespeare Quotes Source: Titus Andronicus (Tamora at II, iii)

“Lost Echo sits amid the voiceless mountains,
And feeds her grief.”
Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes Source: Adonais (st. 15)

“Never sleeping, still awake,
Pleasing most when most I speak;
The delight of old and young,
Though I speak without a tongue.
Nought but one thing can confound me,
Many voices joining round me,
Then I fret, and rave, and gabble,
Like the labourers of Babel.”
Jonathan Swift Quotes Source: An Echo

“I heard . . .
. . . the great echo flap
And buffet round the hills from bluff to bluff.”

From the red-ribb'd hollow behind the wood,
And thunder'd up into Heaven.”

“Our echoes roll from soul to soul,
And grow for ever and for ever.
Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying,
And answer, echoes, answer, dying, dying, dying.”
Lord Alfred Tennyson Quotes Source: Princess (IV, Bugle Song)

“What would it profit thee to be the first
Of echoes, tho thy tongue should live forever,
A thing that answers, but hath not a thought
As lasting but as senseless as a stone.”

Whispering faint echoes of the world's applause.”
