What (who) is breath - definition

SHORT STAGE PLAY BY SAMUEL BECKETT

breath         
  • Fig. 4 Atmospheric pressure
  • A young gymnast breathes deeply before performing his exercise.
  • Following on from the above diagram, if the exhaled air is breathed out through the mouth on a cold and [[humid]] conditions, the [[water vapor]] will [[condense]] into a visible [[cloud]] or [[mist]].
  • Typical breathing effort when breathing through a diving regulator
  • This is a diagram showing how inhalation and exhalation is controlled by a variety of muscles, and what that looks like from a general overall view.
  • Inhaled air is warmed and moistened by the wet, warm nasal mucosa, which consequently cools and dries. When warm, wet air from the lungs is breathed out through the nose, the cold hygroscopic mucus in the cool and dry nose re-captures some of the warmth and moisture from that exhaled air. In very cold weather the re-captured water may cause a "dripping nose".
  • X-ray video of a female [[American alligator]] while breathing.

Breath (play)

Breath is a notably short stage work by Samuel Beckett. An altered version was first included in Kenneth Tynan's revue Oh! Calcutta!, at the Eden Theatre in New York City on 16 June 1969. The UK premiere was at the Close Theatre Club in Glasgow in October 1969; this was the first performance of the text as written. The second performance, and the English premiere, was at a benefit held at the Oxford Playhouse on March 8, 1970. “The first accurate publication appeared in Gambit 4.16 (1969): 5–9, with a manuscript facsimile.”
