John Barleycorn was a hero bold. Of noble enterprise; For if you do but taste his blood, 't will make your courage rise... Then let us toast John Barleycorn, Each man a glass in hand; And may his great posterity Ne'er fail in old Scotland. (R. Burns, ‘John Barleycorn’) — Недаром был покойный Джон При жизни молодец - Отвагу подымает он Со дна людских сердец... Так пусть же до конца времен Не высыхает дно В бочонке, где клокочет Джон Ячменное Зерно! (перевод С. Маршака)

Jamie: "...By the time I hit Mamie's dump I felt very sad about myself and all the other poor bums in the world. Ready for a weep on any old womanly bosom...

O'Neill, ‘Long Day's Journey into Night’, act IV) — Джейми: "...Когда я добрался до заведения мамаши Верне, у меня уже сердце разрывалось от жалости к себе и ко всем несчастным забулдыгам на белом свете. Я вполне созрел, чтобы поплакать на груди у какой-нибудь старушки... Ты же знаешь, как это бывает, когда маэстро Джон Ячменное Зерно заводит внутри тебя нежную, грустную музыку."
