(2) “We trotted on, we crept up Constitution Hill, we rattled down into Lamas street, and the tailor still rang his bell and a dog ran, squealing, in front of his wheels. As we clip-clopped over the cobbles that led down to the Towy Bridge, I remembered Grandpa’s nightly noisy journeys that rocked the bed and shook the walls, and I saw his gay waistcoat in a vision and his patchwork head tufted and smiling in the candlelight.

(1) “We see that in many things that life is very great. It is incomparably great in its material aspects, in its body of wealth, in the diversity and sweep of its energy, in the industries which have been conceived and built up by the genius of individual men and the limitless enterprise of groups of men.

We have squandered a great deal of what we might have used, and have not stopped to conserve the exceeding bounty of nature… We have been proud of our industrial achievement, but we have not hitherto stopped thoughtfully enough to count the human cost…” (Woodrow Wilson: First Inaugural Address at Mobile, March 4, 1913)

The left ventricle, which is the chamber that propels blood to the rest of the body, has the thickest, most muscular wall in the heart. Inside it are grayish translucent flap extending into the cavity. These are the flaps of the mitral valve which stands between the left auricle an the left ventricle, preventing the backflow of blood.
