no boon in life more sweet

"There is no boon in life more sweet, I say,  
than when a summer joy holds all the realm,
and banqueters sit listening to a harper
in a great hall, by rows of tables heaped
with bread and roast meat, while a steward goes
to dip up wine and brim your cups again.
Here is the flower of life, it seems to me!"
- "The Odyssey: The Fitzgerald Translation
