Let's get outa here, lads. These ladies look dangerously inbred; the trees are melting; I can hear banjo music in the distance; and there's a bunch of library pixies down in the lower right corner, which always means trouble.
The bottle is then riddled, so that the lees settles in the neck of the wine bottle... Manual riddling is still done for Prestige Cuvées in Champagne... mechanised riddling equipment (a gyropalette) is used instead. (Wikipedia)

ReplyDeleteThat Chand and Murthy article suggests that the first episode of Gulliver's travels is to be interpreted as a "description" of the Lilliputian hallucination phenomenon. Really?
ReplyDeleteI feel this is unrealistic. There are no indications that Gulliver suffers from schizophrenia or the tell-tale vision loss of Charles Bonnet syndrome, and he is hardly likely to be afflicted with acute alcohol withdrawal only hours after consuming a half-pint of brandy. I suspect that the story is completely fictional.
