1. A grove of oaks.
   • 1922, A.E Housman, "The Oracles"

     'Tis mute, the word they went to hear on high Dodona mountain
     When winds were in the oakenshaws and all the cauldrons tolled,
     And mute's the midland navel-stone beside the singing fountain,
     And echoes list to silence now where gods told lies of old.
