Breathers at Troynovant:
pulses of lifeforms & biologic processes,
inspiring inhalations deep or quick,
(or even not technically breathing),
satiric or speculative or scientific
of wildlife & pets, evolution & ecology;
breaths of health, medicine, & disease;
listed by Title
See ComWeb at Troynovant for robots & robotics.
See Livelong at Troynovant for longevity & immortality.
See Mentality at Troynovant for the mind & mental operation.
We generally do not list here reviews of animal tall-tales or fictions
("The Stolen White Elephant",
Ishmael,
Freddy the Pig series) or creatures symbolic or animated
(The Maltese Falcon,
Donald's Ostrich) — although we hope you'll read these pieces anyway.
We do include, sparingly, some naturalistic novels and stories; and some science-fictional or fantastic representations of terrestrial or alien lifeforms if they seem to grow the definitional boundaries or enliven our philosophical speculations.

Cleopatra:
Is she as tall as me?Messenger:
She is not, madam.Cleopatra:
Didst hear her speak? Is she shrill-tongued or low?Messenger:
Madam, I heard her speak. She is low-voiced.Cleopatra:
That's not so good. He cannot like her long.Charmian:
Like her? O Isis, 'tis impossible!Cleopatra:
I think so, Charmian. Dull of tongue, and dwarfish.
What majesty is in her gait? Remember
If e'er thou looked'st on majesty.Messenger:
She creeps.
Her motion and her station are as one.
She shows a body rather than a life,
A statue than a breather.William Shakespeare
Antony and Cleopatra, 3.3.11-21
