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.

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.
