SEMATOLOGY
Other cases occur irr II, 256, 266, etc.; III. 40: last
year’s snows, cf. <les neiges d’antan».
I, 127, And overhead strange weathers burn and bite . . .
VI, 64, The rains are as dews for the christening
Of dawns that the nights benumb.
With these cases compare the use of the singular form
of the following two words:
I, 235, And ever she gave God thank . . .
IV, 109, Make me thy mean to put them to the grave . . .
§ 2. Adjectives.
(a). We have just seen how Swinburne often
’dissolves’ an adjective attribute into a substantive a genitive.
His language, however, also knows a procedure that is the
exact opposite of this: a genitive attribute, and also several
other kinds of phrase, may be melted together into one
adjective attribute, placed in front of a noun. To me this
construction seems decidedly classical.
I, 257, . . . only her low name
< Andrevuola came thrice . . .
II, 226, The presence of some heavenlier thing
In the near air . . .
236, For if the swimmer’s eastward eye
Must see no sunrise . . .
^ 269, . . . sad with slow sense of time . . .
III, 29, with sudden feet that graze the gradual sea . . .
— 50, Thine ear knew all the wandering watery sighs
Where the sea sobs round Lesbian promontories . . .
IV, 46, His name abhorred for shame’s disloyal sake . . .
[same page: for his and her own sorrowing sake]
94, For when the sun sprang on the sudden sea . . .
137, And give this ring into her secret hand . . .
It is apparent that several different kinds of
contraction are represented. In examples 4, 6, and 7, the source
is a genitive expression. Examples 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, show
adverbial phrases of several kinds.
