Autumn is a lonely season and life is uninteresting. The free days always get me down. But one day, the sound of a violin ____ into my ears.
A. flowed B. ran
Which of is better? WHY?
Thanks |

The sentence is rather poetic and neither usage would be common or more correct.
When referring to a sound in ones ears the following are sometimes used:
The song was running through my head.
The song was going through my head.
{Meaning a song that repeats in ones mind over and over,}
The sound of the wind in the trees flowed through me.
{Meaning the sound had a relaxing and deep emotional impact.} |
