"What's her name?" "Mrs. Browning. Don't be so rude," said Josephine. "Browning for gravies. Any relation of Robert?" "Oh, yes! You ask my husband," came the slow, plangent voice of Clariss. "You've got a husband, have you?" "Rather! Haven't I, Juley?" "Yes," said Julia, vaguely and wispily. "Yes, dear, you have." "And two fine children," put in Robert. "No! You don't mean it!" said Jim.
I just said to myself 'it can't be! I said it over and over again just like that. Having faith, I think they call it. I was reading in a book once about having faith " She talked interminably. Carroll ceased to hear the plangent voice. He was thinking of what she had just told him thinking earnestly.
The very breath of the volcano seems to fan your cheek, and the hollow roar has become near and plangent. It is no longer like the breaking of great seas on a distant shore: it is like thunder rending the sky above you. A little further, and another subtle change is observable. On either hand the land has become solitary and unkempt.

My heart begins to swell like a bud under the plangent rain. The last time I saw her was here, on the Garda, at Salo. She was the chalked, thin-armed daughter of Rigoletto. I detested her, her voice had a chalky squeak in it.
A positive hum went round, and not an eye but was fixed on the little Orientals. When, however, the organ was for a while superseded and the violas and violins quivered under the plangent melody of Palestrina, our roving attention was fixed and held. I am not sure that the Andrea in the cloisters is not the best of all his work.
Yet, as Cassy Mavor looked out upon the exquisite beauty of the scene, upon the splendid outspanning of the sun along the hills, the deep plangent blue of the sky and the thrilling light, she saw a world in agony and she heard the moans of the afflicted.

That universal protest which rings through Byron's work with a plangent resonance, very different from the whimperings of punier men, is a proof that so far from being free, one's whole being is invaded and laid waste.
He despised small game and insignificant personalities, whether in the shape of dukes or bagmen, letting them go by like sea-weed; but show him a refined or powerful face, let him hear a plangent or a penetrating voice, fish for him with a living look in some one's eye, a passionate gesture, a meaning and ambiguous smile, and his mind was instantaneously awakened.
