Alcohol is the material synthesis of fire and water. In the words of Bachelard, Brandy, or eau-de-vie, is also eau-de-feu or fire-water.
Alcohol symbolizes the vital spark struck from the union of the opposite elements of Fire and Water.
It symbolizes both the flame of life and the spark of creative genius. Not only does it stimulate the latent within the spirit, but, as Bachelard observes, it actually creates. ‘It incorporates itself, so to speak, within that which is striving to express itself. It becomes evident that alcohol is a creator of language... Bacchus is a beneficent god; by causing our reason to wander he prevents the anchylosis of logic and prepares the way for rational inventiveness’.
The ambivalence of alcohol betrays its twofold origin. ‘The alcohol of Hoffmann is the alcohol which flames up; it is marked by the wholly qualitative and masculine sign of fire. The alcohol of Poe is the alcohol that submerges and brings forgetfulness and death; it is the wholly quantitative and feminine sign of water’.
