I taste a liquor never brewed

Hi Lsgrimes. I'd like to help you with the possible copyright violation at I taste a liquor never brewed. You said that you first posted the text on Suite101.com, but that site now seems to be down so I can't verify that this is indeed the case. Is there any chance you could point to where on that website the text was located so we could investigate via an archive? We just need to clarify that you did indeed write the text before it was written on Wikipedia, then it can be removed. Sam Walton (talk) 10:48, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lsgrimes may have a point; this edit from 2009 has the distinct smell of cut-'n-paste from somewhere. The article itself is mostly unsourced WP:OR, and should probably be stubbed and rewritten. —Wasell^(T) 11:06, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your response.

Suite version 2007

Dickinson's Spiritual Intoxication The poem "I taste a liquor never brewed" portrays the speaker's spiritual intoxication through an extended metaphor likening her soul drunkenness to alcohol inebriation.

by Linda Sue Grimes

The speaker in Emily Dickinson’s “ I taste a liquor never brewed” is describing a mystical state that she experiences through her soul awareness; the state is so overwhelmingly uplifting that she feels as if she had become intoxicated by drinking alcohol. But there is vast difference between her spiritual intoxication and the literal, physical intoxication of drinking an inebriating beverage.

The poem consists of four four-line stanzas. The second and fourth lines in each stanza rime, with the first rime pair “Pearl” and “Alcohol” being near or slant rime. The poem is #214 in Thomas H. Johnson’s The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson.

First Stanza – “I taste a liquor never brewed” In the first stanza, the speaker begins the extended alcohol/intoxication metaphor by claiming that she experiences a state of awareness that she has rarely, if ever, heard described before. At this point, she likens this experience to being drunk, but the “liquor” that made her drunk is not “brewed”; in other words, her intoxication is not caused by the physical ingestion of a drink.

The next line, “From Tankards scooped in Pearl,” describes the cup from which the speaker has drunk. Again she must resort to metaphor to express where this feeling comes from, because the experience is from the soul, or spiritual level of being, which is ineffable and cannot be described exactly in words, but can only be experienced. So when she claims that the tankards or large mugs are “scooped in Pearl,” she places them outside physical reality just as she has done when she said she “taste[s] a liquor never brewed.”

Second Stanza – “Inebriate of Air – am I –” Even though her state of mind is ineffable, she continues to dramatize the feeling by continuing to liken it to natural experiences; thus, she claims she is simply drunk on air, merely breathing makes her feel inebriated. And even the “Dew” makes her feel drunk. And the “endless summer days” make her feel as though she has been imbibing at “Inns of Molten Blue.” It’s as if the sky was one huge tavern from which the liquor flowed, and after she had drunk her fill, she goes “reeling” from the intoxication through those “endless summer days.”

Third Stanza – “When ‘Landlords’ turn the drunken Bee” Next, the speaker likens the bees and butterflies to fellow drinkers, whom she will outdrink. After the flower, from which the bee is imbibing, closes up and the bee has to leave or be trapped, and after the butterflies have had their fill of securing nectar from the flowers, the speaker will be able to continue drinking her soul-intoxication, because it is not physical and, therefore, has no limit.

Fourth Stanza – “Till Seraphs swing their snowy Hats –“ In the final stanza, the speaker reveals when she will have to stop drinking her special intoxicating beverage, and that time is never. The last line in stanza three claimed, “I shall but drink the more!” And although the sentence seems to end, the idea continues in the next stanza with “Till”—I shall continue drinking until the highest order of angels remove their “snowy Hats,” and saints hurry to the windows to watch me “Leaning against the – Sun –“; and these events will never take place: seraphs do not wear hats, and saints would hardly be interested in peering through windows to observe a “little tippler.”

The poem, in the Johnson version, ends with a dash – indicating further that the speaker never has to stop her drinking, as those drinking the literal alcohol must.

I have screen shots of my article on Suite. I think you cannot access the article from the web. I can access it only through the search function on Suite. Perhaps you could do that too. As I said, Suite is in a transition process and is unstable. How can I send you the screen shots?

Thank you, Linda Sue Grimes
