While stretching languidly, hands spread out again and again, and involuntarily reach towards the wine-flask.
Picture that sweet, drowsy state where you stretch your arms in pure languor, half-lost in reverie.

It speaks to a deep, visceral longing—whether for love, solace, or wine—that takes over the body before the conscious mind can even resist.
