Letter "I" » Intemperance
"Beware the deadly fumes of that insane elation
Which rises from the cup of mad impiety,
And go, get drunk with that divine intoxication
Which is more sober far than all sobriety."
Author: William R. Alger
About: Intemperance
"Man, being reasonable, must get drunk;
The best of life is but intoxication:
Glory, the grape, love, gold, in these are sunk
The hopes of all men and of every nation;
Without their sap, how branchless were the trunk
Of life's strange tree, so fruitful on occasion:
But to return,–Get very drunk; and when
You wake with headache, you shall see what then."
Author: Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)

As the red waves of wretchedness swell,

The horrible Light-House of Hell!"
