"Breathless - for the uplifting, the euphoric, the Dionysian, perhaps the experience within a cultural context - and the taking of breath: Conditions that inhibit breathing - such as stench and pestilence, and the final literal taking of breath by the taking of life. Breathless, a term for hyperstate, an over-breathing, euphoria, excitement. The taking of breath for despair, collapse - and eventually death in some form".
