Desk llamas and desk turtles? I'm envious.

I have one of these! Oh, I love it! It's almost as nice as my desk llama. :)

"to vibrate in sympathy" (usually referred to musical instruments, e.g. strings).
p.s. i love my tiny wooden turtle whose head is hypersensitive and oscillates with the slightest vibrations :-)

In that case unprecendented
Single I shall live and die,
I shall have to be contented
With your heartfelt sympathy.

-- several characters at different moments in Gilbert & Sullivan's "Patience"; it is pronounced there to rhyme with 'die', which apparently used to be a valid pronunciation.
