Let No Sunrise' Yellow Noise ...

... When you die, and you go to Heaven, this is what they give you to drink ...This is from "Sophie's Choice". You might think it expresses religious hope (in a person brought up to feel awe towards man-made religions), or that it refers to wine poured out into a stemmed glass as a symbol of a refined taste in worldly things, or that it is an attempt to reveal deep appreciation of the humane act of offering it; in fact, it simply points to the death that will bring tranquility, Sophie's death. No hope, but a determination, is what is being expressed.
