Anonymous said...: As usual, Bill, I admire your technique: I like very much the diminuendo of the sounds.; 12:10 PM
Bill said...: Thanks, guys. Yes, the sound was so faint that a verb would have been too emphatic a gesture.; 4:22 PM
Masago said...: No verb (what about "chimes"?). :-); 6:54 PM

Bill said...: Good point, Vaughn. It's true "chimes" can be read as a verb, with "wind" as its subject. I hoped some readers would pick that up. I was referring to the absence of a verb if "chimes" is read as a noun. And thank you, floots.; 7:02 PM
