But language is wine upon his lips

But language is wine upon his lips

Summary

This quote implies that language is like wine on someone's lips, meaning that it is a pleasurable and intoxicating experience when they speak. It suggests that the person has a beautiful way of expressing themselves, captivating others with their words. Just as wine delights the senses, language (in this context) brings joy, fascination, and perhaps even a sense of allure.
