The Scandinavian mythology tells of a mortal who attempted to
drain a goblet of the gods. The more he drank, however, the more
there was to drink. His amazement grew, until he found that the
goblet was invisibly connected with the sea, and that to empty
it he must drink the ocean dry.
So the soul may drink of God’s life forever without exhausting or
diminishing the supply.
