Definition
迷离 is a literary stative verb describing a blurred, hazy or dazed quality — of sight, scene, or state of mind. It is stronger and more poetic than 模糊, often evoking a dreamy or confused atmosphere. Use it for eyesight in a daze, or for scenes obscured by mist or smoke, as in 目光迷离 (dazed eyes) or 烟雾迷离 (hazy with smoke).
