“But the fact is that when wine is taken in moderation, it gives rise to a large amount of breath, whose character is balanced, and whose luminosity is strong and brilliant. Hence wine disposes greatly to gladness, and the person is subject to quite trivial exciting agents. The breath now takes up the impression of agents belonging to the present time more easily than it does those which relate to the future; it responds to agents conducive to delight rather than those conducive to a sense of beauty.” GivingPersonsDoeCharacterFactsStrongTakenSubjectsAmountExcitingBreathsWineDelightBrilliantImpressionAgentsRelateBelongingBalancedModerationGladnessPresent Time Book:The Canon of Medicine of Avicenna Source: The Canon of Medicine of Avicenna
