Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Rabelais, Vol. 2: Gargantua and Pantagruel Good People, most Illustrious Drinkers, and you thrice-precious Gouty Gentlemen. Did you ever see Diogenes the Cynick Philosopher? If you have seen him, you then had your Eyes in your Head, or I am very much out of my Understanding and Logical Sense. It is a gallant thing to see the clearness of (Wine, Gold) the Sun. I´ll be judg´d by the Blind, born so, renowned in the Sacred Scriptures; who having at his choice to ask whatever he would from Him who is Almighty, and whose Word in an Instant is effectually performed, ask´d nothing else but that he might see. Item, you are not young, which is a competent Quality for you to Philosophat more than Physically in Wine (not in vain) and henceforwards to be of the Bacchick Council; to the end that opening there, you may give your Opinion faithfully of the Substance, Colour, excellent Odour, Eminency, Propriety, Faculty, Virtue, and effectual Dignity of the said blessed and desired Liquor. If you have not seen him (as I am easily induced to believe that you have not) at least you have heard some talk of him. For through the Air, and the whole extent of this Hemisphere of the Heavens, hath his Report and Fame, even until this present time, remained very memorable and renowned. Then all of you are derived from the Phrygian Blood (if I be not deceived). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
