- sweet-blowing; sweet-scented
Meaning
The west-wind breezes blow sweetly, and sweet-blowing airs strike the sea around the earth. When the adjective qualifies Earth’s green growth at XXVI.7, pleasant fragrance is more natural than literal breathing. The noun being qualified determines how this agreeable movement or emanation should be understood.
