This state is characterized by a definite break in the consistency of vital processes (nutrition, respiration …) necessary for homeostatic maintenance of the organism, that distinguishes the death of a temporary alteration as in the case of hibernation or some freezing. At the cellular level, death means the cessation of the basic functions of a cell. In multicellular communities, this may be accidental death (necrosis) or controlled or programmed death (apoptosis). However, there are sometimes disorder that challenge this common death: the cell is then said to be immortal because it can be split into daughter cells an unlimited number of times. Unicellular organisms that reproduce by fission are only immortal principle, although after marking it appears that these cells are also aging, which alters their homeostatic and reproductive capacities. In multicellular organisms, sexual cells, called germ, are potentially immortal, unlike their somatic cell envelope eventually die hopelessly under the influence of external pathogenic factors, or because of the phenomenon of aging. Somatic envelope then form what is called a corpse, which then decomposes under the action of oxidation, bacteria and various scavengers and organizations contributing to the recycling of organic and inorganic material.

  • DAY 3 NEWSTEAD ABBEY Newstead Abbey Is a Beautiful Historic House
    DAY 3 NEWSTEAD ABBEY Newstead Abbey is a beautiful historic house with gardens and parkland covering more than 300 acres ( 120 hectares ) a few miles away from Nottingham . Visiting Newstead Abbey , you wander around different kinds of gardens , pass past lakes , ponds and waterfalls … Inside the Abbey, you can visit Victorian rooms and Lord Byron private apartments. History The priory of St. Mary of Newstead was founded by King Henry II of England about the year 1170 as penances following the murder of Thomas Becket . Contrary to its current name, Newstead was never an abbey: it was a priory. Sir John Byron of Colwick was granted Newstead Abbey by Henry VIII in1540 after the dissolution of the monasteries and started its conversion into a country house In may 1798, Lord Byron was a young boy of ten when he inherited the estate .The house was in a great state of disrepair ( his great-uncle from whom he inherited had a lot of debts ) but the gothic ruins with the coat of arms of the Byron family were fascinating the young boy. Newstead was his home between 1808 - 1814. Byron had a great love of animals most notably for a Newfoundland dog named Boatswain, who died of rabies in 1808. Byron commissioned an impressive marble funerary monument for Boatswain at Newstead Abbey and the 26 lines poem « Epitaph to a Dog » has become one of his best-known works. In 1818, Lord Byron sold Newstead Abbey to ease his financial troubles . Then , during the next century ,Newstead Abbey had several owners .

  • Morpheus of the Angels As Literary Project
    MORPHEUS OF THE ANGELS AS LITERARY PROJECT. SHAPESHIFTING ONTO THE BODY RAMONA SIMUŢ* ABSTRACT. What is the body and why is it important to be aware of its existence even in Ro- manticism, where it was oftentimes appreciated not at its face value, but for what it could be or could have been, so much so that it became loci communes to think of it in immaterial terms as shape, idea, wandering soul, or other indefinite substitutes for reality? This paper is especially concerned with a thought raised by new readings of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, namely that well into the second decade of the 1800s, Romanticism seemed to have encouraged such elaborated views of the body that it became either a vacated, subhuman form or, on the contrary, an ideal- ized, ethereal individual beyond belief. In truth, however, what this literature created was a dis- proportionate being, a monster whose main failing – apart from his lack of harmony – was that his very existence circumvented all frames of reference. Since the new being was a human crea- tion achieved at the expense of reason, albeit with the aid of science, the outcome seen as a post- human artifact would be discussed over against the elevated tone of this epistolary novel and the much calmer attitude of its author, who had the chance to take a closer look at the book fifteen years into its publication. The accent here falls on the elusive body and its affiliated metamor- phosis, a concept that forms the red line of our present argument. KEY WORDS: shape, monster, body, Romanticism, calm Introduction Is the body mainly a shape? And does this shape originate in our thoughts rather that our sight? When it comes to literature, these are mainstream ques- tions since, as the Greeks used to put it, the body/shape emerges from an idea/dream, thus it proceeds from Hypnos (Somnus in Latin) or the god of sleep, the half-brother of Thanatos (Death).

  • Polish Readings of Byron's Epitaph on Boatswain
    Studia Litteraria Universitatis Iagellonicae Cracoviensis 9 (2014), z. 1, s. 7–16 doi:10.4467/20843933ST.14.001.3048 www.ejournals.eu/Studia-Litteraria zeszyt 1 MONIKA COGHEN Uniwersytet Jagielloński w Krakowie Polish Readings of Byron’s Epitaph on Boatswain* Abstract The Inscription on the Monument of a Newfoundland Dog, which Byron had engraved on the memorial to his dog Boatswain in the grounds of Newstead Abbey, has been one of the most often reprinted and translated poems by Byron. In her book Kindred Brutes Christine Kenyon- -Jones has thoroughly examined the genealogy of the poem and pointed to its potential for manifold interpretations and to its role in establishing the image of Byron as ‘a misanthropic dog-lover’. The Polish reception of the poem confi rms both its ideological and political poten- tial and its role in the creation of one of the stereotypical images of Byron. This paper examines Polish translations of Byron’s Inscription, pointing to the role of the poet’s lives, particularly L. Belloc’s French biography, in the formation of the myth of the Byron and in the transmission of the knowledge of his works. It also traces literary allusions to the poem in the works of Polish writers. In the Russian-controlled Congress Kingdom of Poland the banning of the poem on the grounds of a theological error marked one of the fi rst noted interventions of preventive censorship in 1825. Nonetheless, the Polish translations were published fi rst in the Austrian-controlled Lviv in 1825, and then in the Russian-controlled Vilnius in 1834, both ex- ploring the poem’s political potential.
