FALSE PAST PARTICIPLES

121

been mentioned as probably being a compound verb
(page 100).

Some instances follow here.

I, 70, ... shark-toothed and serpentine-curled

Rolls, under the whitening wind of the future, the wave
of the world . . .
292, . . . Wrists and feet
Slight-swathed . . .

IV, 40, And on the mighty-moulded stairs that clonib

Sheer from the fierce lips of the lapping foam . . .
66, ... and the world’s fast-founded frame

Trembled with sense of triumph even as I . . .
69, A man base-moulded for the stamp of scorn . . .

V, 230, Half humorous goodness, grave-eyed mirth on wings,

Bright-balanced . . .

A case of comparison occurs in:

II, 253, That fairest-born of things . . .

A. III. Composition of other word-classes than these
and a genuine past participle

is rare, and often of a very loose character. Such
cases as the following can hardly be regarded as real
compounds.

I, 72, ... but she

Came flushed from the full-flushed wave, imperial, her
foot on the sea . ..
99, With heavenly hair far-swept . . .
144, When by her back-blown hair
Napoleon caught the fair
And fierce Republic . . .

III, 109, The shuddering shades of half-seen hell . . .

IV, 26, Like the heart of some new-mated dove.

A little more firm is the connection in a case like:

II, 70, Turn away from us the cross-blown blasts of error.

V, 332, My verse, a shard-borne beetle rather,

Drones over scarce-illumined earth . . .

The Homeric epithets will reappear to one’s memory
when compounds like the following are found.
