tell of
Speak of events
To tell of something is to narrate or recount it, often with a sense of significance or drama: Ancient texts tell of a great flood.
The phrase suggests stories, legends, or accounts rather than casual conversation.
Signs or evidence can also tell of something by indicating it: Her trembling hands told of her fear.
