Hi, Peg
Nah, I want a pause before 'and'.
I put the postraphy in nature's.
I checked out 'Air'.
Qoute: Crudden.
It usually denotes a song (qv), tune or melody, or all three.
Frequently used in the late 16th c. and during the 17th when many
collections were published.
Cowper suggests the general sense, when, in
A Winter Walk at Noonhe writes.
There is in souls a sympathy with sounds;
And, as the mind is pitch'd the ear is pleased
With melting airs, or martial, brisk, or grave:
Some chord in unison with what we hear,
Is touch'd within us, and the heart replies.
John.
