Pickwick and Miss Bolo against Lady Snuphanuph and Mrs.
The Posthumous Papers Of The Pickwick Club by Dickens, Charles View in context
He perceives it in the songs of birds--in the harp of Bolos --in the sighing of the night-wind--in the repining voice of the forest-- in the surf that complains to the shore--in the fresh breath of the woods --in the scent of the violet--in the voluptuous perfume of the hyacinth--in the suggestive odour that comes to him at eventide from far distant undiscovered islands, over dim oceans, illimitable and unexplored.
