104 VOCABULARY
Some instances follow from the later collections:
V, 16, ... strong
As death and sweet as death-annihilating song . . .
178, Wind and sea and cloud and cloud-forsaking

VI, 116, ... many a written sign of spirit-searching lore . . .
341, Our man of men whose time-commanding name . . .

supplemented in an analysis of these thirteen compounds: in
two cases through; in three, over; by (at), in, with, occur
in two cases severally. One case demands through or
from, and one through or over.
As has already been mentioned, the scarcity of cases
