eucaryote

Les protistologues s’accordent, aujourd’hui, à considérer les Flagellés autotrophes, comme les plus primitifs des Protozoaires à noyau vrai, des Eucaryotes (ensemble qui embrasse aussi les Végétaux et les Métazoaires), parce qu’ils sont les seuls à pouvoir faire la synthése totale de laur protoplasme à partir du milieu minéral.

Protistologists agree today to consider the autotrophic Flagellates, being the most primitive of the Protozoa with a true nucleus, Eukaryotes (a group which also comprises the Vegetables and Metazoans), because they are the only ones able to do a complete synthesis of their protoplasm from the mineral medium.

Ce dessin [de Marie Laurencin] est ravissant et extrêmement touchant, faites-lui mettre une petite baguette très étroite et un verre. Il est à nous et c’est un petit chef-d’œuvre. Il ne faut point de passe-partout et que l’encadreur n’en rogne rien, laissant visible tout le blanc.

1915 August 25, Guillaume Apollinaire, Lettres à Madeleine:

The drawing [by Marie Laurencin] is beautiful and extremely moving; have it fitted with a very narrow little frame and a piece of glass. It is ours and it is a small masterpiece. There must be no matte, and the framer must not trim anything, but leave all the empty space visible.
