What is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

-Bible (NewTestament)
James 4:14^15.

   And the rolling anapaestic Curled, like vapour over shrines.

-Browning, Elizabeth ne¤  e Barrett
  Poems,'Wine of Cyprus', stanza10.

I dream of Jeannie with the light brown hair, Floating, like a vapour, on the soft summer air.

-Foster, Stephen Collins
  'Jeannie with the Light Brown Hair'.

Winds of the World, give answer! Theyare whimpering to and froö And what should they know of England who only England know?ö The poor little street-bred people that vapour and fume and brag.

-Kipling, (Joseph) Rudyard
  'The English Flag'.
