If it gave off no fragrance, the wine would not be recognized.
If it did not blow, the wind would not be known
For in the cup it is daybreak.
For it is in the cup, dawn

As though radiance had spoken on its behalf,
As if it translates the moment for it
Or apples had melted in the goblets.
Or an apple melted in the cups
