While we're talking about language...

I'm reading Byron these days and so far as I can tell he consistently
rhymes "wind" with words like "mind" and "behind" and "remind." I
haven't seen a single exception in _Childe Harold's Pilgrimmage_ or the
Oriental tales, at least.

Anyone have any thoughts about this? Scottie?

PS Here's a very good article about Byron in AM by Jacques Barzun:
