“And quick as sun‐red waves” (MS VIII;
Poems [1891]; Works [1903])—Ruskin
initially wrote “sunwaves” as a single word, and then he placed a caret between “sun” and “waves” and inserted above the line “‐red” to form “sun‐red waves”.
Collingwood mistranscribed the insertion as “sunned”, and the editors of the Library Edition
adopted that reading.
