Wine Quotes Wine is a peep-hole on a man.
Mankind . . . possesses two supreme blessings. First of these is the goddess Demeter, or Earth whichever name you choose to call her by. It was she who gave to man his nourishment of grain.

Have I no harvest but a thorn
To let me blood, and not restore
What I have lost with cordial fruit?

Before my sighs did dry it; there was corn
Before my tears did drown it;
Is the year only lost to me?
Have I no bays to crown it?

I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion.
