"On the light fantastic toe."
"Through the high wood echoing shrill."
"And the busy hum of men."
"Most musical, most melancholy."
"Lap me in soft Lydian airs."
In the "Paradise Lost," again, there occur many passages rendered forcible in the extreme by the adaptation of sound to sense. Thus—
"Him the Almighty power
Hurl'd headlong flaming from the ethereal sky,
With hideous ruin and combustion, down
To bottomless perdition."
