to be reflected, LL. mirare to look at. See Mirror.]
An optical effect, sometimes seen on the ocean, but more

the surface common to two strata of air differently heated.
The reflected image is seen, commonly in an inverted

When the surface is horizontal, and below the eye, the
appearance is that of a sheet of water in which the object is
seen reflected; when the reflecting surface is above the eye,
the image is seen projected against the sky. The {fata
