The rude approach to the human outline, observed in the shape of the head of this creature, and the attitude of the mother when suckling her young, clasping it to her breast with one flipper, while swimming with the other, holding the heads of both above water; and when disturbed, suddenly diving and displaying her fish-like tail, these, together with her habitual demonstrations of strong maternal affection, probably gave rise to the fable of the "mermaid;" and thus that earliest invention of mythical physiology may be traced to the Arab seamen and the Greeks, who had watched the movements of the dugong in the waters of Manaar.
That's some 'igh-born suckling on the destroyer. Destroyer signals: 'Care not. All will be known later. What merry beehive's broken loose now?" "What odds! We've done our little job." "Why why it's Two Six Seven!" Here Pyecroft dropped from the rail among the fishy nets and shook the Agatha with heavings.
Therein lay the royal beauty of woman, wife and mother; fruitful maternity triumphed over virginity by which life is slain. Ah! might manners and customs change, might the idea of morality and the idea of beauty be altered, and the world recast, based on the triumphant beauty of the mother suckling her babe in all the majesty of her symbolism!
So true it is, the King doth make the Court. Some time later, in the reign of Charles II., we have a different class of men altogether Monk, Clarendon, Sedley, Rochester, Wycherley, Dryden, Butler, Suckling, Carew. Here came crowds to be touched for the King's evil. Here the unfortunate Duke of Monmouth implored pardon at his uncle's feet in vain.
All our little company highly approved of Miss Jenny's proposal, and promised, in their turns, to relate their own lives; and Miss Polly Suckling cried out, 'Yes indeed, Miss Jenny, I'll tell all when it comes to my turn; so pray begin, for I long to hear what you did, when you was no bigger than I am now. Miss Jenny then kissed little Polly, and said she would instantly begin.
During this absence in the East Indies Captain Suckling, in April, 1775, had been named Comptroller of the Navy, a civil position, but one that carried with it power and consequent influence. This probably told for much in obtaining for Nelson, who was but just eighteen, and had not yet passed the examinations for his first promotion, an acting appointment as lieutenant.
"At all events," said Vavasor, hiding his gratification with false humility, "there was no great presumption in a shy at Suckling!" "There may have been the more waste," returned Hester. "I would sooner imitate Bach or even Handel than Verdi." Vavasor could stand a good deal of censure if mingled with some praise which he called appreciation.
But it so happened was it an accident or was it a Providence that a she-bear had made her bed directly in the path which the Indian with almost blind eagerness was pursuing. Here the ferocious beast was suckling her cubs. The bear sprang from her lair, and instantly with a terrific hug grasped the savage in her paws.
I was told how a Myoro woman, who bore twins that died, now keeps two small pots in her house, as effigies of the children, into which she milks herself every evening, and will continue to do so five months, fulfilling the time appointed by nature for suckling children, lest the spirits of the dead should persecute her.
He refused both at taunts and cajoleries; but Lord Suckling coming by, said "Name your horse," and, caught unawares, Algernon named Little John, one of the ruck, at a hazard. Lord Suckling gave him fair odds, asking: "In tens? fifties?"
