Thence each bellowed for silence, their deep-toned, resonant, loud, practiced voices carrying to the upper colonnade everywhere. Silence, deep already since Murmex received his death-wound and broken only by whispers, deepened. The amphitheater became almost still.
He took off the needless glasses, wiped them, and blinked his eyes. This confounded Horace and his stimulating epithets! A walk? "I won't be beat," he said incorrectly replaced his glasses, brought his elbows down on either side of his box with resonant violence, and clutched the hair over his ears with both hands....
Nast drew a grotesque cartoon of me, distorting my suggestion for the assembling of 100,000 citizens, which was both offensive and libellous. Being on friendly terms with the Harpers, I made my displeasure so resonant in Franklin Square Nast himself having no personal ill will toward me that a curious and pleasing opportunity which came to pass was taken to make amends.
In the eternal symphony of the sea, the lapping of the waves upon the shingle at the foot of the terrace, one note was now lacking, the resonant note of the czimbalom yonder in the gardens of Frascati.
They destroyed blank verse as a musical and resonant poetic instrument by letting this element of variety outrun the sparing and skilful use which alone could justify it. But they were decadent in other and deeper ways than that. Sentiment in their plays usurps the place of character.

It was as if, beneath and within all the noises of the square, every movement in the hotel reached her ears through cardboard walls: distant shoutings and laughter below; rattlings of crockery below; stampings up and down stairs; stealthy creepings up and down stairs; brusque calls; fragments of song, whisperings; long sighs suddenly stifled; mysterious groans as of torture, broken by a giggle; quarrels and bickering, she was spared nothing in the strangely resonant darkness.
It was filled with dark-green, lisping water, and a continual resonant whispering in which you seemed to catch half-framed words, and the low ripple of laughter. Mr. Vane indicated the point at which they had arrived in their exploration among the fissures opening from the ledge.
The peculiar questioning cough of early evening is resonant and deep in vibration, but it is a call rather than a roar. No lion is fool enough to make a noise when he is stalking. Then afterward, when full fed, individuals may open up a few times, but only a few times, in sheer satisfaction, apparently, at being well fed.
"For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be. * I the heir of all the ages, in the foremost files of time." Hallam's death had also developed in him the human note, resonant in the lyric, Break, break, break: "But O for the touch of a vanish'd hand, And the sound of a voice that is still."
