Vaporescence

But such a point of view is untenable, and into the cauldron of committee discussion go the divergent opinions and varying attitudes of the members, while from its vaporescence rises the evolving judgment of the group, steeped in study and discussion.

The Swiss have banded together to prevent the dismantling of one of Expo.02's transitory architectural installations: "Blur Building", a walk-through artificial cloud on the lakeshore at Yverdon-les-Bains. How, one might well wonder, did vaporescence suddenly become so meaningful?

Intricate as it is, all is blended into a cloud-like harmony of shade, which becomes fainter and fainter, as it retires, with the most delicate flatness and unity of tone. And it is by this kind of vaporescence, so to speak, by this flat, misty unison of parts, that nature, and her faithful followers, are enabled to keep the eye in perfect repose in the midst of profusion, and to display beauty of form.
