last I heard
Ellipsis of the last I heard.
Those evening bells! those evening bells! How many a tale their music tells Of youth and home, and that sweet time When last I heard their soothing chime! Thomas Moore
When I meet people who say - which they do all of the time - 'I must just tell you, my great aunt had cancer of the elbow and the doctors gave her 10 seconds to live, but last I heard she was climbing Mount Everest,' and so forth, I switch off quite early. Christopher Hitchens
Those evening bells those evening bells How many a tale their music tells Of youth and home, and that sweet time When last I heard their soothing chime. Charles Lamb
