Quote by James Thomson (B.V.)

The wine of Love is music, And the feast of Love is song: And when Love sits down to the banquet, Love sits long: Sits long and rises drunken, But not with the feast and the wine; He reeleth with his own heart, That great, rich Vine.

The wine of Love is music, And the feast of Love is song: An

Summary

This quote suggests that love is akin to an intoxicating experience, comparing it to the effects of drinking wine. Love is equated to music, as it brings joy and celebration. When immersed in the celebration of love, one indulges in its essence for a long time. However, the "wine" Love is drunk on is not the external feast or the material pleasures, but rather the emotions and feelings from within oneself. Love makes one feel dizzy and overwhelmed, much like being drunk on the intoxicating effects of a rich vine or wine.

The character of our coasts, remarkable in considerable part

The character of our coasts, remarkable in considerable parts of it for admitting no vessels of size to pass near the shores, would entitle us, in reason, to as broad a margin of protected navigation, as any nation whatever. Not proposing, however, at this time, and without a respectful and friendly communication with the Powers interested in this navigation, to fix on a distance to which we may ultimately insist on the right of protection, the President gives instructions to the officers, acting under this authority, to consider those heretofore given them as restrained for the present to the distance of one sea-league, or three geographical miles from the sea-shore. This distance can admit of no opposition as it is recognized by treaties between some of the Powers with whom we are connected in commerce and navigation, and is as little or less than is claimed by any of them on their own coasts.
