VOCABULARY
V, 381, For the brute from its brutehood looks up thus and
eyes life.
-ing. The suffix -ing, is the one that occurs most
commonly in new formations, though it is often difficult to
tell whether the particular instance in hand is not a mere
participle.
The wish to give greater suggestive power to the
words has undoubtedly caused the new formations with
-ing where a corresponding single noun exists already.
None of the following instances occur in the dictionaries.
1, 230, ... in the extreme land
That hath sunshine on the one hand
And on the other star-shining . . .
239, In middle Rome there was in stone-working
The church of Venus . . .
IV, 330, . . . these limbs
Are as light dust and crumblings from mine urn . . .
317, . . . cheeks warm with little kissings.
Similar instances occur in:
I, 233, 1 . . . cry out with stoopings of my knee . . .
IV, 43, She laughed into the covering of her hair . . .
286, Gates barred with groanings manifold.
In these cases I also think that the archaic motive of
word-formation may safely be supposed to have had some
influence.
Cases also occur where no corresponding noun exists
already.
I, 33, For death, for marriage, and for child-getting
I set my curse against him as a sword . . .
240, . . . this wine-shedding should be
Made of the shedding of Adonis’ blood . . .
III, 55, And save thy dust from blame and from forgetting ...
198, This is my thirtieth year of wayfaring . . .
IV, 318, My name is a consuming.
Forgetting, obsolete (N. E. D.); consuming, quoted
from this line in Swinburne.
