Quote by Queen Victoria
What you say of the pride of giving life to an immortal soul is very fine dear, but I own I cannot enter into that: I think much more of our being like a cow or a dog at such moments: when our poor nature becomes so very animal and unecstatic
Summary
In this quote, the speaker expresses their inability to comprehend the concept of pride in giving birth to an immortal soul. Instead, they liken the experience to that of an animal, specifically a cow or a dog, where human nature becomes instinctual and lacks the transcendental bliss often associated with spiritual or divine realms. The speaker suggests a more grounded and realistic perspective on the matter, emphasizing the primitive aspect of childbirth rather than its spiritual significance.
