ADVERBS
135
And cast it waifwise on the stream,
The waters of the centuries, where thou sat’st to dream.
235, And sees the gradual rippling rims
Of waves whence day breaks blossom-wise
Take fire ere light peer well above . . .
III, 64, And half asleep let feed from veins of his
Her close red warm snake’s mouth Egyptian-wise . . .
IV, 8, Burns opal-wise with April-coloured light . . .
70, And lion-wise leapt on that kinsman knight . . .
255, Sharp words and soul’s division and fresh tears
Flower-wise upon the old root of tears brought forth,
Fruit-wise upon the old flower of tears sprung up
[flower-wise is given by N. E. D.]
269, . . . and bowing birdwise . . .
There is, in the case of -///re-formations, a certain
difficulty in deciding whether the words are used adjectivally or
adverbially. For instance:
IV, 48, And outlaw-like, in forest wise and free
The rising and the setting of their lights
Found those twain dwelling all these days and nights ...
Or:
III, 316, That strange-eyed spirit-wounded strange-tongued slave
There questing houndlike . . .
Houndlike, as an adjective, is given by N. E. D.
Other cases of -like occur in:
II, 155, . . . Who have turned thy name to laughter,
Thy sea-like sounded name . . .
III, 296, . . . Albeit so birdlike slight and light . . .
In the following instance, there may be supposed
some metrical motive:
II, 114, As the flash of the flakes of the foam flared lamplike,
leaping
From wave to gladdening wave . . .
Lamplike as an adjective is given by N. E. D.
-fashion forms:
I, 261, Her fine and floated body pale,
Swayed flower-fashion . . .
