LOL. I wanted to give multiple answers to the poll! Like music will sooth just about anybody or anything (if it's soothing music)and I probably should be washing dishes!
I'm quite certain no power on this earth has sufficient charms to soothe the savage screaming baby :-)
...But that proverb comes from the myth of Orpheus - the music of his lyre calmed Cerberus and allowed him to enter the Underworld in search of Euridice.
See, now I'm bothered about exactly what would cause a breast to get all wound up and savage - and how would you know if a breast was that grumpy? ::worries::
I may need to go lie down for a short nap now. *g*
"Music has charms to soothe a savage breast" is a quote from "The Mourning Bride" (1697) act 1, scene one by William Congreve (1670-1729) and has been MUCH misquoted over the centuries. *g*
( and although the poll is closed, you can add my "thing" to the count. Heh heh!
