从这首诗似乎可以看出诗人是把flask和wine联系在一起的。 （直译：酒的好坏不取决于盛置的容器。）

A Toad, can die of Light –

 

A Toad, can die of Light –
Death is the Common Right
Of Toads and Men –
Of Earl and Midge
The privilege –
Why swagger, then?
The Gnat's supremacy is large as Thine –


Life – is a different Thing –
So measure Wine –
Naked of Flask – Naked of Cask –
Bare Rhine –
Which Ruby’s mine?
