II . Then blent oar spirits for a little space , Each within each absorb'd impalpably ; As two fair shadows in a stream embrace And flow into each other tremblingly ; As two bright vapours in the heavens' face Do meet and kiss each other floatingly , And , interwreathed in the azure clear , Within each others foldings disappear .

BY AX OLD TRAVELLER . Vivid impressions are never erased from the mind , but you cannot always recall them at a moment by a simple act of the memory . It is therefore a good plan in travelling- to keep a journal .
