317, Thy cradled brows and loveliest loving lips,
The floral hair . . .
[= flowerlike.]
-ous, like -al, shows some cases of curions use.
Ruinous, for ruined, is very common.
I, 59, And ruinous lilies in thy languid hair.
Archaisms occur in:
II, 96, The mountainous ages made hoary with snow for the
spirit to climb . . .
[= mountain-like. |
V, 222, Never came such token for divine solution
From the oraculous live darkness, whence of yore . . .
[= oracular. |
It may, perhaps, also occur in
IV, 53, . . her slumberous love-dishevelled hair.
[= pressed by slumber, j
-like is a very common suffix, occurring chiefly in
the rhetorical poems of vol. II.
II, 44, That the sanguine shadows and hoary
Should flee from the foot of the lion,
Lion-like, forth of his den ...
176, Good things and evil, strengthless yet and dumb,
Sit in the clouds with cloudlike hours to come . . .
184, And sphinx-like shapes about the ruined lands . . .
III, 54, And lay, Orestes-like, across the tomb
A curl of severed hair . . .
IV, 8, The lamp-like star of Hero for a lamp . . .
74, Nor glance nor lute-like voice . . .
79, And swordlike was the sound of the iron wind . . .
V, 305, . . . with dirge-like mirth.
I have already had occasion to point out a tendency
of Swinburne’s to melt together in one adjective a longer
expression, or another kind of attribute. [Sematology, § 2].
This tendency seems to be intimately connected with two
suffixes, -ive and -y, of which the latter is the more
important one.
