Day and night my thoughts incline
To the blandishments of wine:
Jars were made to drain, I think,
Wine, I know, was made to drink!

Additional quotes by Richard Henry Stoddard

We love in others what we lack ourselves,
And would be every thing but what we are.

Silence is the speech of love,
The music of the spheres above.

Once when the days were ages,
And the old Earth was young,
The high gods and the sages
From Nature's golden pages
Her open secrets wrung.
Each questioned each to know
Whence came the Heavens above, and whence the Earth below.
