Thomson has also numerous instances of the juxtaposition of nouns and past-participles (Type IV): “_love-enlivened_ cheeks” (“Spring,” 1080), “_leaf-strewn_ walks” (“Autumn,” 955), “_frost-concocted_ glebe” (“Winter,” 706); others of this type are somewhat obscure in meaning, as “_mind-illumined_ face” (“Spring,” 1042), and especially “_art imagination-flushed_” (“Autumn,” 140), where economy of expression is perhaps carried to its very limit. Thomson’s favourite method of forming compounds however is that of Type V, each book of “The Seasons” containing large numbers, the first element (_full_, _prone_, _quick_, etc.) often repeated with a variant second element. Sometimes constant repetition in this way produces the impression of a tiresome mannerism. Thus “many” joined to present and past-participles is used irregularly with quasi-adverbial force, apparently meaning “in many ways,” “many times,” or even “much,” as “_many-twinkling_ leaves” (“Spring,” 158), “_many-bleating_ flock” (_ibid._, 835), etc. In the same way the word “mazy” seems to have had a fascination for Thomson. Thus he has “the _mazy-running_ soul of melody” (“Spring,” 577), “the _mazy-running_ brook” (“Summer,” 373), “and _mazy-running_ clefts” (“Autumn,” 816), etc. Not all of this type, however, are mere mechanical formations; some have real poetic value and bear witness to Thomson’s undoubted gift for achieving happy expressive effects. Thus the “_close-embowering_ wood” (“Autumn,” 208), “the lonesome muse _low-whispering_” (_ibid._, 955), “the _deep-tangled_ copse” (“Spring,” 594), “the _hollow-whispering_ breeze” (_ibid._, 919), “the _grey-grown_ oaks” (“Summer,” 225), “_flowery-tempting_ paths” (“Spring,” 1109), “the morn _faint-gleaming_” (“Summer,” 48), “_dark-embowered_ firs” (“Winter,” 813), “the winds _hollow-blustering_” (_ibid._, 988), “the _mossy-tinctured_ streams” (“Spring,” 380), as well as such passages as the long-forgotten strain At first _faint-warbled_ (“Spring,” 585) and Ships _dim-discovered_ dropping from the clouds. (“Summer,” 946) Thomson’s compound epithets with a true adverb as the first element (Sixth Type), such as “_north-inflated_ tempest” (“Autumn,” 892), are not particularly striking, and some of them are awkward and result in giving a harsh effect to the verse, as goodness and wit In _seldom-meeting_ harmony combined. (“Summer,” 25-6)
