Filled with mingled cream and amber
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain
-Quaintest thoughts -queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today.

-Edgar Allen Poe

Benjamin Franklin was never actually recorded as saying, “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” However, he did say something similar: “Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, there it enters the roots of the vines, to be changed into wine, a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy.”

Achually, Ben never said beer is proof that god loves us. What he said was in wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, and in water there is bactiria.
