"You know, my Friends, with what a brave Carouse
I made a Second Marriage in my house;
Divorced old barren Reason from my Bed,
And took the Daughter of the Vine to Spouse.

Of all that one should care to fathom, I
Was never deep in anything but - Wine." »from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (Translation by Edward Fitzgerald)
