tongueless quotes

  • When the hounds of spring are on winter's traces, The mother of months in meadow or plain Fills the shadows and windy places With lisp of leaves and ripple of rain; And the brown bright nightingale amorous Is half assured for Itylus, For theThracian ships and the foreign faces, The tongueless vigil and all the pain.

    - Algernon Charles Swinburne
      Atlanta in Calydon, chorus,'When the hounds of spring'.
