"i put on a turn of speed that i would have thought myself incapable of."
i need to know b'cos i used it recently in an essay, and my teacher crossed it out saying that he had never encountered the phrase "a turn of speed". a "burst of speed" yes, but a "turn of speed" never.
the only problem is i seem to have read it several places before, only i can't remember where.
can someone help me by clarifying whether i am right in using the phrase, or did i just invent it. if you too have read it somewhere can you give me a reference, preferably from a classical source.
