Alıntılar
- Валентина Михееваalıntı yaptı3 yıl önce
Apparently most of our ancestors greeted the dawn with a tankard of beer or a jolt of brandy, or both, and what was once called the "hair of the dog that bit you" restored the blood sugar and slowed the sickening drop of the blood-alcohol level. The modern hangover may be attributed partly to our stern morning sobriety and partly to guilt: we're being punished, and we deserve it. - Валентина Михееваalıntı yaptı3 yıl önceThe tavern, bar, pub, local, cafe, shebeen,or what-have-you has always been the evening refuge, escape from the dark and dangers of the night, witches and ghosts, family and work.
- Валентина Михееваalıntı yaptı3 yıl önceThe tavern, bar, pub, local, cafe, shebeen,or what-have-you has always been the evening refuge, escape from the dark and dangers of the night, witches and ghosts, family and work. In the countryside, escape from silence and loneliness, along with a chance to hear some news of the wider world; a spot of gossip, crop prices, and the rise and fall of empires. In cities, the place to meet neighbors you would never otherwise meet and weave together a social family out of the loose strings of strangers. Everywhere, the nourishing contact with humans, known and new. What E. B. White called "the golden companionship of the tavern."
