Pour away!

''Oh! Sweet opiates, stupefying ecstasy,
Burnt-red bitters, clear topaz vermouth,
Absinthe-milk clouded by emerald! Pour away!
Pour away! Forget the whys and the wherefores.''

--Jean Richepin, from Absinthe, as quoted and translated from the French by Elizabeth K. Menon, Evil by Design: The Creation and Marketing of the Femme Fatale, 2006.
