Another Virgil Version.
In the Round Table for October 29th Sir Knight Alfred G. Baker asked about a line from Virgil, "The Poles Resound." The ancients believed that the earth was flat, and that the sky revolved round it. On one side of the sky was the north star, and on the other another star. Therefore the line is translated by, "The sky," not the earth, "resounds with heavy thunders."
