—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Water for oxen, wine for kings.”
—Spanish proverb.
“Food probably has a very great influence on the condition of men. Wine exercises a more visible influence, food does it more slowly but perhaps just as surely. Who knows if a well-prepared soup was not responsible for the pneumatic pump or a poor one for a war?”
