When I felt: "No, I'll think no more of this; it's intolerable and unbearable," I'd dance the baby.
That's true, I think, of all, all women. And it accounts for the curious look of security that you see in young mothers: they are safe from any ultimate state of feeling because of the child in their arms. And it accounts also for the women who call men "children". Such women fill themselves with their men-gorge themselves really into a state of absolute heartlessness. Watch the sly, satisfied smile of women who say "Men are nothing but babies!".
