Historically, the term “looking glass” referred to a mirror or reflective surface—not just one that provides a clear reflection of the self, but also one that can distort reality in enchanting ways.
In the context of a prairie, “looking glass” describes a visual phenomenon where the undulating waves of tall grasses create a shimmering effect, akin to the appearance of water. This mirage effect occurs when sunlight hits the grasses at certain angles, causing them to ripple and sway in a way that tricks the eye into seeing a glassy, watery expanse.
