AR TIC LE OF THE DAY

Bethlem Royal Hospital

Bethlem Royal Hospital is the oldest
institution for the care and
confinement of the mentally ill in
England and one of the oldest in
Europe. First founded as a priory in
1247, the building was converted to a
hospital around 1400. A distortion of
the hospital's name gave rise to the
word "bedlam," which was once used
as a generic term for a psychiatric
hospital and has since been applied to
any scene of turmoil and confusion.

QUOTE OF TH E DAY

I
have wrestled with death. It is the
most unexciting contest you can
imagine. It takes place in an
impalpable greyness, with nothing
underfoot, with nothing around,
without spectators, without clamor,
without glory, without the great desire
of victory, without the great fear of
defeat, in a sickly atmosphere of tepid
skepticism, without much belief in
your own right, and still less in that of
your adversary.
Joseph Conrad
(1857-1924) Discuss
