The wine of Truth
Last night I drank the Wine of Truth.
K unexpectedly appeared with a bottle of red, Slovenian, Ročin wine which is brewed by an acquaintance of his. Theatrical as always, K said with a deep voice and upraised finger:
-This is the Wine of Truth.
It certainly convinced me so I didn’t ask the variety, or the vintage, or the cellar. The first sip showed that it was good and far from being some kind of plonk. Wine is, as is well known, close kin of truth, but now that somebody had managed to produce a real wine truth, even a single bottle, then I would have to take off my cap and sip it regardless of the risk. There is a risk, naturally, particularly the unpleasantness when truth is spoken aloud in front of other people.
Amazingly, after the wine started to run the truth also began to run, but unpleasantness stayed away. My wife, my friend K, and I drank up the wine right away. Things were said that had been unspeakable for many years. The wine showed itself worthy of its ambitious name.
This should be suggested to Dr N, I think. What a help it would be at work! You drink a little, and then we will chat nicely, I imagine him saying to a patient while pouring a glass of the Wine of Truth with a hospitable gesture. Hmm... I just fear that the scenario would not fit his crowded little room in the garret, with “the Antialcoholism Messenger” or whatever that scary medical journal was called.
Late at night, K said obviously trying to disentangle his tongue: -I have another bottle in the car. We had better fetch it and finish drinking the truth to the end!
My beloved had already fallen asleep.
I said it was time for my pill and that it was certainly enough truth for me for one night. K insisted. K always insists. We collected the bottle that was in his car, came back and opened it.
Then the Truth continued its effect... -We mustn’t drink another drop. I’ll be sick, said K, with a mild expression of surprise. I nodded sagely. -Look after the bottle for another occasion and other people. We mustn’t overdo it. A man can rush everything, but not Truth.
K got up quickly, set off towards the exit and once more raised his finger. Truth!
