Did You Know?
| Trivia | The title of the second sequence refers to Aqua vitae (Latin, "water of life") or aqua vita, an archaic name for a concentrated aqueous solution of ethanol. The term was in wide use during the Middle Ages, although its origin is undoubtedly much earlier, having been used by Saint Patrick and his fellow monks to refer to both the alcohol and the waters of baptism.
