The first sip, followed by a second, and a third, and so on in rapid sequence. I proceded to another bottle, just as possessed of tranquility as the first. When my temples throbbed with the excruciating
"Apart from the pulling and hauling stands what I am,/ Stands amused, complacent, compassionating, idle, unitary" (lines 66-67).

The trachea divides into two branches, called the right bronchus and the left bronchus, that connect directly to the lungs. Air continues through
