And the branches of the trees were so arranged that when the wind swept through them every tree was a thousand aeolian harps.

The mild and genial zephyrs were discoursing the low, sweet, melancholy music of their aeolian harps, among the gently-wavering tops of the whispering pines.

They utter a peculiar low sound, which at a distance resembles, when the herd is large, the tone of numerous Aeolian harps.

A strange roseate light shone through the spaces among their trunks and the wind made in their branches the music of AEolian harps.

There was to have been "a supernatural element," better, probably, than the device of the Æolian harps hung in the thicket.

"Do AEolian harps make so much noise, Boris?"

The chorus speaks from pool to pool, lamenting and moaning across the fields and gardens, and re-echoing like AEolian harps placed opposite one another.
