The unicorn . . . made a noise: a call that went out through the night like the blast of a mighty trumpet. -- Tom Godwin, The Survivors (1958) What beast has given its voice to the flute? The unicorn. -- Pamela Dean, The Whim of the Dragon (2003) "Aye," the melodic tone of the horned beast sighed. -- James Pajot, Nil Se'n La (2003) The unicorn spoke in a voice like a woodwind. -- John C. Wright, The Last Guardian of Everness (2005) Her name was Belle, and she was a unicorn. She spoke to me musically on her horn. -- Piers Anthony, Phaze Doubt (1990) At last the unicorn spoke. Its voice was clear and piercing, like the sound of a flute. -- Pamela Dean, The Secret Country (2003) The shimmer of blue light changed to an emerald green and [there] stood a brilliant white unicorn. It spoke in a rhythmic voice. -- Michele Avanti, GreeHee (2006)
