VOCABULARY

Other instances of this class of compounds are supplied
by the following cases:

III, 114, And winds make thunder

With cloud-wide wings . . .

303, He strayed with faint bare lily-lovely feet . . .

V, 14, The steel-cold lake of Gaube . . .

2. One or two rare cases of composition with
pronouns may be placed here.

all- occurs not rarely, but seldom except in cases
that are given by dictionaries, as all-golden (III, 176),
all-glorious (IV, 174), all-various (II, 148). A new formation,
however, occurs in:

III, 306, With clamour of all-applausive hands.

self- gives:

II, 19, Canst thou sit shamed and self-contemplative?

3. A comparatively small group of compounds is
that of adjectives with adjectives. All the cases found in
Swinburne show a simple coordinate relation between the
two constituent parts. Evidently these formations will be
closely connected with the comparison-type of
substantival compounds.

II, 60, New planets fiery-fresh from birth . . .

III, 17, . . . your memories kept

Most fervent-fresh of all the singing spheres . . .

II, 91, As an ear in the red-ripe sheaf

Stored for the harvesting hour . . .

197, ... the red-gold harvest rows . . .

III, 65, Blue lotos-blooms and white and rosy-red . . .

316, ... the root red-wet . . .

IV, 89, Before them with a ringing rein

All golden-glad the king’s false bride . . .

V, 381, To his pensive (I think he says) Sara — »most soothing-

sweet» . . .

418, ’Tis a dark-purple sort of a moonlighted kind of a
midnight, I know.
