Pure poetry! --- What a very poetic-sounding sentence with its alliteration of 'wheat' and 'wrath' and its chain of associations of the process of fermentation that gives rise to alcohol and from there to the image of the froth on a pint of beer but also to the bubbling up of unrest as well as the knock-on effects of alcohol (not explicitly mentioned) and its relation to violence.

Each individual will have a slightly different chain of associations, and that illustrates the point of this lecture very well: that we each fill the gaps according to our own inclinations.
