FALSE PAST PARTICIPLES

117

Anywhere, fallen or to fall,
Save in our star-stricken eyes.

star- here is probably the first component of
star-blind, Sw. starr, but this word is not found as a single
noun in C. D.

Finally we find:

II, 14, As summer-stricken spring feels in her pains . . .

IV, 325, . . . lowland and lawn

spring-stricken . . .

Ride also forms several compounds of the type of
hag-ridden, priest-ridden:

II, 47, In that very funereal season

In that heart-stricken, grief-ridden time . . .
252, The torpor of their blind brute-ridden trance
Kills England and chills France . . .
VI, 188, ... till the tyrant-ridden horde

Saw the lightning fade from heaven and knew the sun
for God and lord.

Classical allusion probably occurs in several of these
formations, as, for instance, in the following cases:

III, 34. But in some secret moon-beholden way

cf. Virgil: per arnica silentia lunae .
322, . . . then the old rage of rapture’s fieriest rain
Storms all the music-maddened night again.

[On the Cliffs, an ode to Sappho].

Especially in the negative compounds this feature
seems to appear.

II, 13, The leaves are of that time-unstricken tree
That storm nor sun can fret . . .
147, The floors untrodden of the sun’s feet glimmer,
The star-unstricken pavements of the night.
Ill, 20, O first-born sons of hope and fairest, ye

Whose prows first clove the thought-unsounded sea.

V, 94, Fast and firm as time-unshaken warders . . .

236, hearts . . . Less pure than thine, our life-unspotted Lamb.

Some cases, of course, approach the next division of
substantive compounds —
