I ought to tell you first that the chyle, when it leaves the intestine, is very like milk.
"Dost thou not know the saying that the smile of a beautiful maiden is the deglet nour of Paradise, and nourishes a man's soul, so that he can bear any discomfort without being conscious that he suffers?"

Notice my text, 'come ye to the waters' ... 'buy wine and milk.
