sip et pas sup
78.118.217.68 (discuter) 29 juin 2022 à 11:01 (CEST)
- Bonjour,
- Intrigué par votre "sip et pas sup" je me suis penché sur le sujet. Consulté d'abord la page wikipedia english ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drink_to_Me_Only_with_Thine_Eyes ) qui mentionne :
- This literary background helps restore the original intention of the words from the blurring of certain lyrical variations which, while naïvely touching, do conceal the true meaning. In particular, the line "But might I of Jove's nectar sup" is often rendered: "But might I of love's nectar sip".
- Consulté ensuite l'Oxford English Dictionary, dont je vous mets uniquement les grandes lignes.
- "sup" est donc tout à fait correct, et rime de pleus avec "cup"
- Cordialement,
