Summary

This quote suggests that the state of being young is akin to being constantly intoxicated with life's pleasures. The comparison is made between youth and intoxication, as both are described as being sweet. The quote further emphasizes the intoxicating nature of youth by highlighting the idea of growth. Similar to how one might feel euphoric and lightheaded while intoxicated, young people are portrayed as perpetually experiencing a sense of delight and exhilaration due to their blossoming and evolving nature.
