sounding (n.)
sounding (adj.)
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
The sounding cataract
Haunted me like a passion; the tall rock,
The mountain, and the deep and gloomy wood,
Their colours and their forms, were then to me
An appetite,—a feeling and a love,
That had no need of a remoter charm
By thoughts supplied, nor any interest
Unborrowed from the eye.
Three sleepless nights I passed in sounding on,
Through words and things, a dim and perilous way.
The intellectual power, through words and things,
Went sounding on a dim and perilous way!
