VOCABULARY

III, 97, and the last two formations are coined by
Swinburne; besides them we find the following:

II, 236, Let there only be

The sole sun on the worldless sea . . .
273, O our Republic that shalt bind in bands
The kingdomless far lands . . .

III, 338, The pasture less green fold ...

IV, 362, She besought him by her spouseless fame.

Spouseless, evidently = matchless, not in C. D.
-fill also shows the same tendency to exceptional stress.

I, 238, . . . with sweet herbs about her hair

And bosom flowerful . . .

II, 282, And what if all these years were blind

And shameful . . .

III, 96, . . . tears joy fuller than mirth . . .
171, ... where summer is stormful . . .

IV, 293, But the boar heaved half out of ooze and slime

Hateful and fiery . . .

V, 358, . . . Boughs of tuneful trees.

-al gives several instances of a peculiar use. i
cannot help thinking the following cases very curious, though
they present no new formations.

I, 254, . . . that face . . .

Tuned evenwise with colours musical . . .

[akin to music, full of music?]
Ill, 62, There are the lives that’ lighten from above
Our under lives, the spheral souls that move
Through the ancient heaven of song-illumined air ...
[C. D. quotes from Swinburne, = harmonious.|

Archaisms occur in:

III, 29, Dawn skims the sea with flying feet of gold

With sudden feet that graze the gradual sea . . .
96, ... the white-robed hours or black

That long since left me on their mortal way . . .

[= to death]

IV, 179, From choral earth and quiring air

Rang memories . . .

|= forming a chorus.]
