Reached for: Champagne (I)
“By evening I need something that lets the lid off.”
Pressure accumulates through the day under strict management and is discharged in a scheduled release, which gets treated as the reward rather than as the tell. The build-up dates to an upbringing that permitted very little expression, so relief had to be imported instead of practised in daylight. What it asks for is one thing said at the hour it is actually felt.
Dionysus, who arrives with force wherever he has been forbidden and collects in one night everything withheld all season. The form implies a task of granting the god an ordinary daily portion.
