MR. WATTS'S PICTURE.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."j
am really reluctant to trouble you again about my ill- fated sonnet to Mr. Watts's picture; but in your last issue, while the writer of the Grosvenor Gallery notice sets matters right as regards the relation of sonnet to picture, he still clings to the mistake in the title I have already more than once corrected. May I, therefore, be allowed to point out that (if Mr. Blackburn and the printer are quite right) the true title is "The Soul's Prism," not "Prison," which was only a printer's error in the first edition of the catalogue, but since set right ?— [We have no doubt that "Mr. Blackburn and the printer" and Mr. Walter Crane are quite right, though we do not in the least know the meaning of either the title or the sonnet,—En. Spectator.]
