About This Quote
The greatest of all possible pleasures is to drink wine from the lips of a woman from heaven. In this quote from the poem “[The] Seven Sages,” it seems that the Greek poet speaks from personal experience when he says, “Ô, the wine of a woman from heaven is sent, more perfect than all that a man can invent.” Though he writes in the context of a poem to celebrate his beloved, he clearly feels that her kiss is better than any other kind of alcohol could ever be.
