One of the most beautiful references in the literature (classic not 
professional) is the last part of John Steinbeck`s "Grapes of Wrath".
The Oakies have fled to caves in the hills to escape from the floods in the 
lowlands.  Rose of Sharon, the daughter of the family gives birth 
prematurely and the baby dies.  She develops what was then known as "milk 
fever" and is dying.  In the corner of the cave is an old man (don`t know if 
he is toothless) dying of hunger.  I think it is the mother or one of the 
women in the family who brings him over to the sick girl .
By sucking on her engorged breasts he saves her life and his own.
If you see this on the stage, there is not a dry eye in the house.
