One of the poems that quite interested me was “Bring in the Wine” by Li Bo. The main theme of this poem is drinking. Li Bo was known for his drinking habits and his love to drink. A song that I thought of that related to this poem was “On My Level” by Wiz Khalifa. “Bring in the Wine” mainly talks about the love for drinking and just having a good time being drunk with good company. In relation to the song Wiz Khalifa raps about drinking, partying, and having no worries when you are drunk.
One quote from the song is “Hit the club spend this money up, roll another one, drink, act a fool That’s what I have to do” and a quote from the poem “Then take my dappled horse, Take my furs worth a fortune, Just call the boy to get them, and trade them for lovely wine” have quite similar meanings in the sense of money. Wiz Khalifa spending all the money to drink at the club while Li Bo has is conveying a similar message by trading fur to buy the wine to drink.
Another quote from the song is “So let me take one shot to the brain, And I order three more shots ,I’m going in” is also similar to the quote from the poem “Bring in the wine! Keep the cups coming!. They both share the message of wanting more alcohol while they are drinking and not wanting to be sober. As a result, you can see that Wiz Khalifa and Li Bo both convey the message of their love to drinking alcohol.
I really like how you related the narrators way of trading fur to buy wine to Wiz Khalifas way of spending money at the clubs.
