Mood
Hence Burgundy, Claret, and Port,
Away with old Hock and madeira,
Too earthy ye are for my sport;
There's a beverage brighter and clearer.
Instead of piriful rummer,
my wine overbrims a whole summer;
My bowl is the sky,
And I drink at my eye,
Till I Feel in the brain
A Delphian Pain-
Then follow, my Caius! then follow:
On the green of the hill
We will drink our fill
Of golden sunshine,
till our brains intertwine
With the glory and grace of Apollo!
-A Draught of Sunshine, John Keats
