tocsin

Still, few poems are more famous than “The Raven” with its dolorous tocsin, “Nevermore.”

All over Europe and the United States, political scientists were sounding the tocsin for any balanced, values-based politics.

We have grabbed onto that great tocsin of American freedom and will not surrender it -- even if too many millions of white Americans have discarded it for cheaply made "MAGA" hats.

It blazed deep red for a moment and then dwindled into a patch of gray smoke, but it was a signal as clear as a tocsin in the night.

These statistics should prompt all rationalists to sound the proverbial tocsin with unrelenting fury.
