Literature

Rooky Wood (The). Not the wood where rooks do congregate, but the misty or dark wood. The verb reek (to emit vapour) had the preterite roke, rook, or roak; hence Hamilton, in his Wallace, speaks of the "rooky mist."
"Light thickens, and the crow
Makes wing to the roaky wood."
Shakespeare: Macbeth, iii. 2. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
