I did with you what I have done before with those I loved best: I showed them the bottom of the bag, and the acrid dust that rose from it made them choke.

" Only the Blessed of Lethe's dews
may stoop to drink. And yet,
Were their Elysium mine to lose,
Could I - without repining - choose
Life's sorrow to forget. "

Раз уж о питье, тогда, конечно, вот это вспоминается:

A little learning is a dangerous thing;
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring:
There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
And drinking largely sobers us again.

Alexander Pope.
