#du vin

[blackswaneuroparedux]

Wine is not just an object of pleasure, but an object of knowledge; and the pleasure depends on the knowledge.

Sir Roger Scruton, I Drink Therefore I Am

Si tu te souviens bien, il existe cinq bonnes raisons de boire : L'arrivée d'un hôte, la soif présente et à venir, le bon goût du vin et n'importe quelle autre raison.

누텔라는 왜 와인이랑 먹어도 맛있는가 ? 🤭

[blackswaneuroparedux]

Il faut être toujours ivre. Pour ne pas sentir l'horrible fardeau du temps qui brise vos épaules, il faut s'enivrer sans trêve. De vin, de poésie ou de vertu, à votre guise. Mais enivrez-vous!.

- Charles Baudelaire

[blackswaneuroparedux]

That first sip of a fine wine stirs, as it makes its way downward, the rooted sense of my incarnation. I know that I am flesh, the by-product of bodily processes which are being brought to a heightened life by the drink that settles within me. But this very drink radiates the sense of self: it is addressed to the soul, not the body, and poses questions that can be formulated only in the first-person case, and only in the language of freedom: ‘what am I, how am I, where now do I go?’…Through wine we know, as through almost nothing else that we consume, that we are one thing, which is also two: subject and object, soul and body, free and bound.

παρὰ γὰρ ἀνθρώποις πολλὰ διὰ μέθην ἄτοπα γίνεται.

- Scholia to the Illiad

For among men many things are strange due to drinking.

Edepol ego neque florem neque floces volo, mihi vinum volo.

- Caecilius

Goddammit, I don’t want the froth or the dregs, I want WINE!”

[blackswaneuroparedux]

Le vin, c'est la source de l'allégresse, c'est l'âme du plaisir.
