Think of the wonders uncorked by wine! It opens secrets, gives heart to our hopes, pushes the cowardly into battle, lifts the load from anxious minds, and evokes talents. Thanks to the bottle's prompting no one is lost for words, no one who's cramped by poverty fails to find release.

The aim of the poet is to inform or delight, or to combine together, in what he says, both pleasure and applicability to life.

Fiction invented in order to please should remain close to reality.
