They'll now in their wives' stammel petticoats vapour 10 Without any need of an argument draper.
That he's a short-liv'd vapour upward wrought, And by corruption unto nothing brought.
What charm, what magic vapour can it be That checks his rays to this apostasy?
Once indeed Es-siddeeh awoke to behold a body of dense vapour launch itself wrathfully downward against the head of the brooding Sphinx and wreath it with a crown of crackling fire.
Then from within the Sphinx arose a deep murmuring as of a multitude of nigh-forgotten voices; a handful of vapour parted from the lips to wither in the glacial moonshine.
That his eyes, accustomed to watch for unexpected perils, played him no tricks he was certain, yet he now observed the brow of the Sphinx to be wreathed in a faint vapour as if its crest had attained the altitude of no inconsiderable hill.
The vapour will soon find its way through the pores of the pill boxes, but, in order to make its action speedy, each one should have a few perforations in the lid.
Any arrangement will do providing the vapour can come to the insects without allowing the leaves to touch their wings; and any ingenious youth could manufacture a more satisfactory article than the one I have mentioned.
Slowly, almost imperceptibly, the vapour rose, and spread outwards up the wooded hills by Basildon.
Lakington was bending over a long bath full of some light-brown liquid from which a faint vapour was rising.
Under the influence of the gravitative attraction the materials of this realm of vapour inevitably tended to fall in toward the centre.
There being but little watery vapour in the mass, this heat is not much called for by that heat-storing fluid, and so the air is warmed.
They are so small that they burn to vapour in the very great heat arising from their friction on the air, and do not attain the surface of the earth.
When the moisture-laden air starts on its upward journey from the earth it has, by virtue of the watery vapour which it contains, a store of energy which becomes applied to promoting the updraught.
Each of the motes in the cloud with its charge of vapour may be compared with the ballast of the balloon; if they are warmed, they send forth a part of their load of condensed water again to the state of invisible vapour.
This change is supposed to be due to the fact that the motes of dust in the atmosphere in the night, becoming cooled, condense the water vapour upon their surfaces, thus diminishing the volume of the air.
Whirling in the manner indicated, the mass of vapour or dust would flatten into a disk or a body of circular shape, with much the greater diameter in the plane of its whirling.
With a less violent movement the vapour bubbles expand in the lava, but do not rend it apart, thus forming the porous, spongy rock known as pumice.
On a still day, viewed from a distance, the path of a lava flow is marked by a dense cloud of this vapour which comes forth from it.
The same evidence shows that there is no vapour of water; moreover, a careful search which the writer has made shows that the surface has none of those continuous down grades which mark the work of water flowing over the land.
Gliding through great piles of snow, it looked sable as Cocytus, with long curls of whitevapour hovering, where the cold air lay on it.
As she gazed, the light died away on its walls, leaving a melancholy purple tint, which spread deeper and deeper, as the thin vapour crept up the mountain, while the battlements above were still tipped with splendour.
Let me bid defiance to this clumsy dragon of vapour worming its ever-lengthening, ever-widening tail out from the close precincts of a mangrove creek.
Heavy vapour settles upon the hills of the Island, descending slowly and with the passivity of fate, until there is but a thin stratum of clear air between the gloomy levels and the portentous pall.
The cumbersome vapour is sopped up by the sun, and the coo-hooing of many pigeons makes proclamation of the day.
A little of thevapour of the condensed oil-gas liquor[A] retarded the action still more, but not nearly so much as an equal volume of olefiant gas would have done.
The consequence of their combination is the production of the vapour of water and an elevation of temperature.
Hydrogen mingled with the vapour of ether or oil-gas liquor causes the ignition of the spongy platina.
A little vapour of ether being mixed with the oxygen and hydrogen retarded the action of the plate, but did not prevent it altogether.
In both these cases it was the original oxygen and hydrogen which combined together, the ether and the oil-gas vapour remaining unaffected, and in both cases the plates retained the power of acting on fresh oxygen and hydrogen.
Hence it would seem to result that the particles of hydrogen or any other gas or vapour which are next to the platina, &c.
Tc A similar formula, but with another value of k, may be given for associating substances, provided the saturatedvapour does not contain any complex molecules.
NO2, and acetic acid, and the somewhat close agreement of the observed density of the vapour with that which is calculated from the hypothesis of such an association to double-molecules, makes this supposition almost a certainty.
It is a general rule that the volume of saturated vapour decreases when the temperature is raised, while that of the coexisting liquid increases.
Hence an isothermal, belonging to the latter group, enters the heterogeneous region on the liquid side, and leaves it at the same level on the vapour side.
If we call the liquid volume vl, and the vapour vv, vv - vl decreases if the temperature rises, and becomes zero at Tc.
According to the boiling-law, the temperature of the liquid must descend to that at which the maximum tension of the vapour is equal to the pressure which reigns on the surface of the liquid.
For substances with a small polymerization heat the degree of association will continually decrease if we move along the border-curve on the side of the saturated vapour in the direction towards lower T.
When near perihelion the matter of a comet is seen to be undergoing a process in the nature of evaporation, successive envelopes of vapour rising from the nucleus to form the coma, and then gradually repelled from the sun to form the tail.
The heat required to convert a molecular quantity of liquid coexisting with vapour into saturated vapour at the same temperature is called molecular latent heat.
In order to use a liquid as a cooling bath it must be placed in a vacuum, and it must be possible to keep the pressure of the vapour in that space at a small value.
When suddenly there brake A golden vapour out of air, whence shining dews did fall, In which they wrapt them close, and slept till Jove was tam'd withal.
Marry--as the friendly vapour ascended, how his prattle would curl up sometimes with it!
When I was a child of some eight years old, I observed that water swelleth into vapour when fire is applied to it.
Now they recollected that on the previous morning they had noticed a singular cloud of vapour that hung over the tops of the trees on one side of the valley.
From the gap they saw the white vapour curling up over the spring.
It was a white vapour that rose near one side of the valley, curling upward like steam.
Thus, partial, or even total deluges, may have occurred, great portions of the ocean being hurried in vapour from its bed, and precipitated upon the land whose temperature is not affected by the distant catastrophe.
That Soliform made featureless beside His brilliancy who neighboured: vapour they; Vapour what postured statues barred his tread.
Some evanescent hand on vapour scrawled Historic of the soul, and heats anew Its coloured lines where deeds of flesh stand bald.
The threads and lines and beds of vapour extending all over the sky served to reverberate the glory of the sunset, as the crags and peaks of mountains fling onwards the echoes of the thunder-clap.
Also, investigations were to be made as to the distribution of vapour below the clouds, in them, and above them.
Some vapour or other that clouded her being must be driven to the winds first.
The air also was still as the air of a walled-up tomb, where there are but dry bones, and not even the wind of an evil vapour that rises from decay.
They said that she was of the blood of the spirits of the cataract, of a race who had delighted to shed a cold and pestilential vapour over the villages of their nation, and had destroyed several Andirondacks, whose blood remained unrevenged.
She felt the scorching heat, while the suffocatingvapour almost deprived her of the power of respiration.
The smoke still hung in the air in the distance, like a funeral pall; but the wind was now rapidly dispersing it to leeward, there being no further supply of the columns of cloud-like vapour that had originally composed it.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "vapour" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
