The Yogis never use salt, and live entirely on milk, which they take only during the night. They move very slowly in order not to breathe too often. Movement increases the exhaled carbonic acid, and so the Yoga practice prescribes avoidance of movement.

The earth seemed to breathe about him. She drew a quick breath. "You shall tell me," she said, "but not here." She glanced about the room filled with sickness and wild thoughts not even the boy's presence dispelled them. "We will go away somewhere to the gallery," she said quickly, "it is lighter there and I have not been there for weeks." Her voice dropped a little.

His legs were trembling and bending under him; he was choking and sobbing, fighting to breathe. He reeled backward, and saved himself from falling by a blind clutching for the ropes. He clung there, drooping and bending and giving in all his body, his head upon his chest, until the referee counted the fatal tenth second and pointed to him in token that he had won.

His face wore the expression not of one dead or dying, but of a man transfixed with rage and horror. His eyes wide open were staring upon us with an expression of impotent rage, as though he were witnessing some outrage which he was powerless to prevent. His mouth was opened as though uttering a cry, but no cry came out of his mouth. He did not breathe heavily, he did not appear to breathe at all.

After we had rested ourselves and eaten something, we went outside upon the banks of this beautiful bay, to breathe a little air, and look at various vessels, going and coming. In the meantime he came with his son to meet us. They had been to the fish fuyck, which they had lying there upon the shore and out of which they had taken at noon some fine fish, but at present the water was too high.

He prayed that he might breathe his last on Good Friday, "in hope of meeting his God, his sweet Lord and Saviour on the day of his resurrection." And strangely enough his wish was granted, for on Good Friday, April 13, 1759, he quietly passed away from this life, being then seventy-four years of age.

Naturalists tell of a noble race of horses that instinctively open a vein with their teeth, when heated and exhausted by a long course, in order to breathe more freely. I am often tempted to open a vein, to procure for myself everlasting liberty. I have tendered my resignation to the court. I hope it will be accepted, and you will forgive me for not having previously consulted you.

We tracked our seal to his secret place, We heard him scratch below, We made our mark, and we watched beside, Out on the edge of the floe. We raised our lance when he rose to breathe, We drove it downward so! And we played him thus, and we killed him thus, Out on the edge of the floe.

And the tone is clearly sounded in "Is there such a place as Grenstone?" Celia, hear them ask! Tell me, shall we share it with them? Shall we let them breathe and bask On the windy, sunny pasture, Where the hill-top turns its face Toward the valley of the mountain, Our beloved place? Shall we show them through our churchyard, With its crumbling wall Set between the dead and living?

Here hippopotami are known to exist only by their footprints on the banks. Not one is ever seen to blow or put his head up at all; they have learned to breathe in silence and keep out of sight. We never heard one uttering the snorting sound so common on the Zambesi. We crossed two small streams, the Kanesi and Fombeji, before reaching Cabango, a village situated on the banks of the Chihombo.
