Why does the speaker desire wine in stanza two?
What will be an ideal response?
- Because it would help him to withdraw mentally from the world and get lost in the song of the nightingale. Note that he doesn’t just want any wine, moreover: he wants one whose taste would bring to mind the colorful flowers of the countryside—specifically the countryside of the warm Mediterranean countries (“the warm south”), which he imagines as being full of dance and song and joy. As he has compared the bird to a mythical wood nymph, so he compares the wine he desires to the waters of the Hippocrene, the sacred fountain of mythology, which, the Greeks believed, inspired the writing of poetry.
