Bells


Silence that dreadful bell, It frights the Isle from her propriety. Shakespeare.—Othello, Act II. Scene 3. (The Moor, after the affray between Cassio and Montano.)	1
That all-softening, overpowering knell, The tocsin of the soul—the dinner bell. Byron.—Don Juan, Canto V. Stanza 49.	2
There is in souls a sympathy with sounds; How soft the music of those village bells, Falling at intervals upon the ear In cadence sweet, now dying all away. Cowper.—The Task, Book VI. Line 1.	3
Those evening bells! those evening bells! How many a tale their music tells, Of youth, and home, and that sweet time, When last I heard their soothing chime! Tom Moore.—Vol. IV. Page 157.	4
