T. Browne:
"But it is the corruption that I fear within me, not the contagion of
commerce34 without me. 'Tis that unruly regiment35 within me, that will
destroy me;
'tis I that do infect my self; the man without a Navel36 yet lives in me; I
feel that original canker corrode and devour me; and therefore Defenda me
Dios de me, "Lord deliver me from my self,"".
Pretty pathetic. I wouldn't think a navel could be of such importance. More
references, below.
I thought the main reasons Adam _is_ painted as having a navel were
'aesthetic', to avoid to plain of an abdomen. It's not clear Eve had a navel,
either.
Cheers,
JL
