Perhaps- He stopped, his own words Braying in his ears.
"Exile"
Horace Brown Fyfe
The enormous Braying of frightened cattle.
"The Vertical City"
Fannie Hurst
I had not been there since 1864, but when I woke up the morning after my arrival, and heard the chickens cackling in the Castel dell' Ovo, and the donkeys Braying, and the cab-drivers quarrelling, and the cries of the street vendors, and the dogs barking, and the children wailing, and their mothers scolding, and the clatter of wheels and hoops and feet, and all that mighty harmony of the joyful Neapolitan noises, it seemed to me that it was the first morning after my first arrival, and I was still only twenty-seven years old.
