make resound

Meaning

The Curetes make the earth ring beneath their light feet at XXXVIII.9. The verb emphasizes the audible effect of their approach, not necessarily heavy weight. Light feet and resounding ground are both printed, so one should not silently replace the lightness with a heavy stomp.
