Of course, you're right. As I said, it was just Shakespeare's slant, but he
*was* a fairly astute observer of human nature <g>. I'm always interested in
literary references to BF, as I think they do illuminate to some degree
contemporary thoughts on the matter. I love Pearl Buck's depiction of Olan,
in the Good Earth, nursing her firstborn in the fields as she works, allowing
her abundant milk to pour out onto the ground--beautifully symbolic.
