Summary. Oestrous

"He-Goat", another tangling poem by D. H. Lawrence, challenges its readers by its complexity in theme. This poem, very much like "The Ass" and "The Tortoises", explores into the correlation between the religious or creative motive and sexual motive behind the behavior of a he-goat-an incarnation of the modern human beings. However, instead of a reconciliation of the two motives to each other, a reciprocal transformation from the two discussed by the poet in Fantasia of the Unconscious is further elaborated in this poem. Moreover, a third kind of motive is indicated and explored in "He-Goat". That is the displaced homoeroticism in the way of same-sex combating, or in the way of a sublimation of heterosexuality into homosexuality. In the light of those, readers may gain a closer understanding of this poem to what it was in the poet's own mind.

Summary Ectopic mammary tissue was described in ten goats belonging to the Nubian and Syrian breeds. This consisted of multiple cavitations containing white milky fluid, which greatly resembled milk in colour, odour and composition. Histologically, the tissue was composed of alveoli lined by cuboidal epithelium and contained pinkish staining secretion. Surgical removal of the tissue was achieved without complications.
