A babe is fed with milk and praise.
(Charles and Mary Lamb. The first tooth)
Never again, never in the future that dawned later on, were we so
sated. We were suckled and suckled. Always superabundance flowing
into us. Never any question of enough is enough or let's not overdo
it. Never were we given a pacifier and told to be resonable. It was
always suckling time.
(Gunter Grass. The Flounder)
The moment she had laid the child to the breast both became perfectly
calm. (Isak Dinesen. Ehrengard)
