I definitely like Ovid's description of Pheme or Fama or Rumour in his Metaphorses. She is depicted as living in a high tower in the middle of the world, her house having no doors and thus it is open to all sides, silence and calm one may not find because there is also a constant murmur and whisper, but no loud voice.
Her effects are described like this: "There bold misapprehension is at home and devout flippancy, empty joy lives there and horrendously shattering fears, suddenly aroused turmoil and whispers, one does not know wherefrom."
