"SOUTH" OR "SOUND.' 



To THE Kditor of Thb Nation: 



Sir: Your correspondent's letters on 

 South or Sound in "Twelfth Night" call to 

 my mind Wordsworth's poem, "Michael," 

 published in 1800, though, of course, Words- 

 worth may have had Pope's emendation 

 of the First Folio directly under his hand. 

 The words beginning at line forty-six are 

 as follows: 



And In liis shepherd's calling be was prompt 

 And watchful more than ordinary men. 

 Ilonce had he learned the meaning of all winds. 

 Of blasts of every tone: and oftentimes. 

 When others heeded not, he beard the South 

 Make subterraneous music, like the noise 

 Of bagpipers on distant Highland hills. 

 The Shepherd, at such warning, of his flock 

 Bethought him, and he to himself would say 

 "The winds are now devising work for me"!
