He says that he is intoxicated (drunk) with the great starry void, suggesting he is awestruck with the vastness of the universe; he might be looking at the great expanse of the endless empty sky filled only with stars and constellations. There is a sense of wonder as the speaker gains a new perspectiveof the world, the infinite universe, and the maje...
