VOCABULARY
An instance like IV, 362, quoted above among the
alliterative formations, may also be said to approach this
group.
On the other hand, the metaphor may also lie in the
combination of the compound and a noun:
II, 154, These royalties rust-eaten
These worm-corroded lies . . .
194, ... So girt with anguish, iron-zoned,
Went my soul weeping.
These cases also deserve mention, though not exactly
forming an intermediate group. (Cf. above VI, 52:
The small court flower-tit with children’s faces).
Compounds are also formed with substantival
pronouns, though they are seldom very original in their kind.
I, 146, Though thy most fiery hope
Storm heaven to set wide-ope
The all-sought-for gate . . .
II, 118, The invisible and all-beholden sun . . .
184, The self-divided flame
Which made an end of the Cadmean name . . .
III, 330, . . . not self-enchanted nor entranced . . .
IV, 405, A moth self-shrivelled in its own blind flame.
A. I. a. 2. Composition of a past participle and its
agent. Transferred meaning.
I have only thought fit to give a selection of these
very numerous formations. — As regards the volumes where
the greatest number of them is to be found, I have already
stated their names and the approximate figures (page 109).
In a combination of this kind, the metaphor is almost
always confined to the verb, the action of which may only
be ascribed to the noun it is coupled with, by a paradox
or a metaphorical use. The stylistic motive, then, will be
to illustrate the noun sharply and momentarily, to make
abstractions concrete.
