The Spirit of Wine & The Spirit of Winemakers
The Spirit of Wine:
The Sprit of Wine
Sang in my glass, and I listened
With love to his oderous music,
His flushed and magnificent song.
‘I am health, I am heart, I am life!’
For I give for the asking
The fire of my father, the Sun
And the strength of my mother, the Earth.
Inspiration in essence, I am wisdom and wit to the wise,
His visible muse to the poet,
The soul of desire to the lover,
The genius of laughter to all.
William Ernest Henley, 1849-1903
