Wine Stroll

Famous quotes containing the words wine and/or stroll:

    now
    I bring full-flavoured wine out of a barrel found
    Where seven Ephesian topers slept and never knew
    When Alexander’s empire passed, they slept so sound.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Thales claimed that everything was water. He also put wine into water to sterilize it. Did he really believe he was putting water into water to sterilize it? Parmenides, like most Greeks, knew that wine was not water. But while lifting a glass of wine to his lips, he denied that motion was possible. Did he really believe that the glass was not moving when he lifted it?
    —Avrum Stroll (b. 1921)
