The babbling gossip of the air. [ William Shakespeare ]
Let echo, too, perform her part,
Prolonging every note with art;
And in a low expiring strain,
Play all the comfort over again. [ Addison ]
The old echoes are long in dying. [ Charles H. Parkhurst ]
Echo waits with art and care
And will the faults of song repair. [ Emerson ]
What is glory? what is fame?
The echo of a long-lost name;
A breath, an idle hour's brief talk;
The shadow of an arrant naught;
A flower that blossoms for a day.
Dying next morrow;
A stream that hurries on its way.
Singing of sorrow. [ Motherwell ]
Blushes are the echo of sensibility. [ Mme. de Salm ]
Remorse is the echo of a lost virtue. [ Edward Bulwer-Lytton ]

How sweet the answer Echo makes
To music at night.
When, roused by lute or horn, she wakes,
And far away, over lawns and lakes,
Goes answering light. [ Moore ]
So plain is the distinction of our words,
That many have supposed it a spirit
That answers. [ Webster ]
Lost Echo sits amid the voiceless mountains,
And feeds her grief. [ Shelley ]
And a million horrible bellowing echoes broke
From the red-ribbed hollow behind the wood.
And thundered up into heaven. [ Tennyson ]
Echo is the voice of a reflection in a mirror. [ Hawthorne ]
I heard the great echo flap
And buffet round the hills from bluff to bluff. [ Tennyson ]
O love, they die, in yon rich sky.
They faint on hill or field or river:
Our echoes roll from soul to soul.
And grow forever and forever.
Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying,
And answer, echoes, answer, dying, dying, dying. [ Tennyson ]
A journal should be neither an echo nor a pander. [ G. W. Curtis ]

The fall of waters and the song of birds.
And hills that echo to the distant herds.
Are luxuries excelling all the glare

Talks through the cliffs, and murmuring over the stream.
Repeats the accent - we shall part no more. [ Akenside ]

In Nature we echo the poet; in the world we echo the thinker. [ Ouida ]
For ages the world has been waiting and watching; millions, with broken hearts, have hovered around the yawning abyss; but no echo has come back from the engulfing gloom - silence, oblivion, covers all. If indeed they survive; if they went away whole and victorious, they give us no signals. We wait for years, but no messages come from the far-away shore to which they have gone. [ Bishop R. S. Foster ]
