than a dozen different combinations that I have noted. I
may repeat once more my observations as to the
conventionalization of colours, made use of by Swinburne, when
1 here give a list of colour-formations.
I, 61, With almond-shaped and roselcaf-coloured shells . . .
186, The apple-coloured cranberries . . .
258, Specks of brute slime and leper-colourcd scale . . .
270, Made like white summer-coloured grass.
II, 78, In the spring-coloured hours
When my mind was as May’s . . .
III, 17, And April-coloured through all months and years . . .
98, Ah, thy snow-coloured hands.
IV, 8, The pale bright autumn’s amber-coloured sphere . . .
14, As of light woven and moonbeam-coloured shade . . .
52, Fleet butterflies, each like a dead flower’s ghost,
White, blue, and sere leaf-coloured . . .
73, ... for her eyes
Were emerald-soft as evening-coloured skies . . .
V, 91, Change under the change-coloured arches
Of changeless morning and night . . .
290, The sunshine-coloured fists
Beyond his dimpling wrists
Were never closed . . .
Perhaps, colour in some of these cases must be
regarded as the verbal stem (I, 270, IV, 73, V, 290).
I have thought fit for the sake of perspicuousness to
place here the adjective compounds of colour:
I, 1, . . . strung with subtle-coloured hair . . .
28, ... the vein-drawn ashen-coloured palm . . .
231, Not all the pure clean-coloured sea . . .
214, The shapely and green-coloured land . . .
248, And hath soft flower of tender-coloured hair . . .
272, . . . perfect-coloured without white or red . . .
Diverse-colourcd is found in N. E. D.; Swinburne
uses (II, 65) the- form divers-coloured.
Shape does not reach such a high figure.
II, 10, Shadows of storm-shaped things . . .
94, Was it Love lay shut in the shell world-shaped? . . .
307, Till the coiled soul, an evil snake-shaped beast . . .
