31. A thing of beauty is a joy forever; 29. Can storied urn or animated bust Its loveliness increases; it will never 33. Then came wandering by A shadow, like an angel with bright hair Dabbled in blood; and he shriek'd out aloud: "Clarence is come! false, fleeting, perjur'd Clarence! That stabbed me in the field by Tewksbury: Seize on him, furies, take him to your torments!"-Shakespeare. NOTE. To my mind, "came wandering" is similar to "lay dying;" "wandering" is a participle in the predicate with "came," and belongs to "shadow." Some authors parse "wandering as an adverb modifying "came." "Furies" is feminine gender; second person; absolute case by direct address. All that follows the word "aloud" is a compound objective element, object of "shriek'd." "Shriek'd out' may be parsed as a compound verb. "Is come" equals "has come.' 34. There are things of which I may not speak: There are thoughts that make the strong heart weak, And a mist before the eye. And the words of that fatal song Come over me like a chill: "A boy's will is the wind's will, And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts."-Longfellow. 66 NOTE.-In 34, "there" at the beginning of each of the first three lines is an expletive adverb. The "and" after the period is an introductory conjunction. A boy's will is the wind's will, and the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts" is a compound sentence; it is an adjective element of the third class, and is in apposition with “words.” 35. These ages have no memory, but they left A record in the desert-columns strown Vast ruins where the mountain's ribs of stone In the dark earth, where never breath has blown The long and perilous ways-the Cities of the Dead.-Bryant. NOTE.-" Columns,' "statues," "ruins," "streets," and "Cities" are in apposition with "record." "Ways" is the object of "(to) tread." |
