Quotation of the Day for May 20, 2012"Jarry began the day by consuming two litres of white wine, then three absinthes between ten o'clock and midday, at lunch he washed down his fish, or his steak, with red or white wine alternating with further absinthes. In the afternoon, a few cups of coffee laced with brandy or other spirits whose names I've forgotten, then, with dinner--after, of course, more aperitifs--he would still be able to take at least two bottles of any vintage, good or bad. Now I never saw him really drunk...." - Rachilde (Marguerite Vallette-Eymery) on her friend Alfred Jarry. Submitted by: Mike Krawchuk May 16, 2012  |
