will o the wisp
dwaallicht

from the smallest wisp of air to the powerful forces of nature's storms.
van het kleinste zuchtje wind gaan we naar de machtige krachten van stormen.

the pygmy wisp, (agriocnemis pygmaea), is a species of damselfly in family coenagrionidae.
agriomorpha fusca is een libellensoort uit de familie van de megapodagrionidae (vlakvleugeljuffers), onderorde juffers (zygoptera).

we should all realise that a common market without a unified transport network is simply will-o'-the wisp.
wij moeten allen wel beseffen dat een gemeenschappelijk markt zonder een gemeenschappelijk vervoersnet een hersenschim is.

if this is not done that ‘gripping the masses’ could well turn out to be a will o’ the wisp.
want anders zou dit ‘zich meester maken van de massa’s’ pure schijn kunnen zijn.
