EolianAn Eolian harp. A box fitted with strings, like a fiddle. The strings, however, are not sounded by a bow, but by a current of air or wind passing over them. Awake, Eolian harp, awake, And give to rapture all thy trembling strings. Gray: Progress of Poetry, lines 1, 2. Source: Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, E. Cobham Brewer, 1894 More on Eolian from Infoplease:
