Metamorphoses

Book 3, Line 24 by Henry T. Riley (English)

Her voice still continues, but they say that her bones received the form of stones. Since then, she lies concealed in the woods, and is never seen on the mountains: but is heard in all of them . It is her voice alone which remains alive in her.
