TO MY FATHER
FROM WHOSE GENEROUS CELLARS
HAS FLOATED UP
MUCH OF THE INSPIRATION
OF THE FOLLOWING ESSAYS
I DEDICATE
NOT INAPPROPRIATELY
THIS LITTLE BOOK
PREFATORY NOTE
My thanks are due to the Editor of the “Pall Mall Gazette” for permission to republish two of the following essays. The rest, with one exception, appeared in the “National Observer” and it is a matter of profound regret that, owing to the surcease of that paper, I can no longer ask permission of its former Editor to republish them. It would not be easy for me to repay Mr W. E. Henley the deep debt of gratitude I owe him for the literary encouragement which, in common with many others, I have always received at his hands.

# Through a Glass Lightly/Champagne

CHAMPAGNE
CHAMPAGNE
It is also of the essence of a great discovery that it should come at the right moment, and this thing sparkled into being when the fortunes of France were on the ebb. So debilitated was the stomach of the Grand Monarque, that Fagon, his good physician, had to forbid him all but the oldest Burgundy, and that most villainously laced with water. But this Dom Perignon—how bright a herald, how inspiriting a companion for his dull and lonely Maintenon, aweary with his ​tiresome wails, his enfeebled autocracy, and soured by the falsehood of her true position! What wonder if she and all the bloods and the grand dames and the lesser ladies drank of it and were glad, while Louis looked another way and sipped attenuated Burgundy? Here was enough, you would think, to console their France under those terrific visitations of Corporal John’s; yet the influence has passed clean from the land of its nativity, the genius of the people it represented has been carried to other shores. It has pierced the fogs of Albion, and made us for the moment the compeers of those brighter spirits across the Channel whose image and superscription it bears.
De ce vin frais l’écume pétillante,
De nos Français est l’image brillante,
“‘Love me’ sounded like a jest,
Fit for yes or fit for no.”
At the wedding breakfast (an extinct ceremony) they have prompted mouthings in honour of the ladies, and composed whole speeches to the health of the bride. They have even soothed the savage breast at those great and heavy dinners in Cromwell Road where Uncle Boanerges plays the gouty Elagabalus once a year. Only at funerals shall be missed the captive bubbles struggling, and rightly, to be free: though here the need of them is sorest, and you must perforce put up with Marsala, or, if a first class interment, with brown Sherry.
​Truly it is a beverage of romance and laughter, this Champagne. In the lush green by Upper Thames, when summer shines on the glancing hair, the corks have broken forth and shot skywardly, singing the song of prodigality and abandonment. To look at life through this clear and golden medium was to cast seriousness to the winds. Clouds would fleet past the midday sun and darken for a brief spell the moon of night: but in these clear depths there was nothing of cloud, nothing of shadow; only, as should be, a heyday of laughter and romance. For, of all the transparencies this world can offer, none is so beautiful; none is so precious as that through which you behold the shining soul of a jest. And where else shall you look for, and more inevitably find it, than in this Dom Pérignon? God rest the ​good monk’s soul ! And thou, “animula, blandula, vagula,” sweet spirit of the present, born to pass here and now, in this narrow space of sun between the grisly past and the yet grislier future, rise up and still up from the source of things, even to this pleasant patch of surface! Actors love thee, and women; but for all that, rise, rise, rise ever; for once the beaded bubbles of ephemeral evanescence have winked their last, there is no deep so plummetless as that encircled by yon vacuous and reproachful glass.

# Three Wise Men of Gotham

"Wise Men of Gotham" is the early name given to the people of the village of Gotham, Nottinghamshire, in allusion to an incident where they supposedly feigned idiocy to avoid a Royal visit. The Wise Men of Gotham are recalled in a popular nursery rhyme with a Roud Folk Song Index number of 19695, an adaptation of the tale Three Sailors of Gotham. The rhyme was first recorded in Mother Goose's Melody published around 1765, and from then appeared in many collections. Warning: template has been deprecated.
