2. I taste a liquor never brewed

This poem is an extended metaphor for not how the speaker literally becomes intoxicated on alcohol, but rather life. Instead of referencing to different types of alcohol, the author lists aspects of nature like air, endless summer days, bee, butterflies, and sun. "From inns of Molten Blue", which I associate the sky as which is in the context of the poem, her bar. The word inn, reflects a tavern that people used to gather and drink at back in the day. And ultimately, the sky being nature/ the bar means she is drunk on life. Next, there are many allusions to places in this poem which are generally associated as social, celebratory atmospheres. Although I am not completely sure of all these places, I do understand that the vats along the Rhine refers to fermenting wine. Yet, the speaker says she has a better tasting liquor. Finally, it is fair to say that the title and first line reflect the extended metaphor. If a liquor is not brewed, I do not think it possesses much alcohol.
