VOCABULARY
is too small in number to allow any conclusions, there is
a tendency similar to that of the first one to be noticed
in the group of adjective compounds. The volumes
mentioned include seven cases in their 400 pages, while all the
remaining volumes show no more.
I, 1 now pass on to the first group of substantive
compounds — such as originate from a verb and its direct
object.
The oratorical quality of these compounds is, 1 think,
shown especially by one variety — compounds of the
substantival pronoun all and a verb.
II, 25, O sunrise of the repossessing day,
And sunrise of ail-renovating right . . .
III, S3, Thee too, the all-fostering earth,
Fair as thy fairest birth . . .
We call, we know thee . . .
IV, 99, . . . some joy it were to be
Lost in the sun’s light and the all-girdling sea . . .
192, ... As foam before the wind that wakes
With the all-awakening sun . . .
V, 209, ... at the rayless portal
Opening wide on the all-concealing lowland of the
dead . ..
From «Poems and Ballads I» we may quote:
I, 212, Preserve the people of fin-twinkling fish . . .
Vol. II. gives the following cases:
II, 11, ... when all her strengths forsake
The sense-compelling spirit . . .
69, By the single eye of sun-compelling vision ...
With these compare:
III, 184, The brand of shame-compelling woe . . .
IV, 18, [magical remedies] Out of live roots and life-compel-
ling flowers . . .
22, No herb of force or blood-compelling drink . . .
II, 22, The flame whence thy sun-shadowing wings aspire .
II, 11, 22, 25, quoted here, all belong to one single poem, the Eve of
Revolution, which is characterized by rhetorical pompi.
