Miscellany on Love
-
There have been lots of discussions with friends recently about romantic love, which have provided, among others, the following gems:
1. On the difficulties of having multiple partners: "I've always found it to be simpler to have all this management going on with one woman."
2. On the peace between husband and wife achieved in later years: "He surrendered, and she accepted."
3. On the peace between husband and wife that can be achieved in early years: "It's not that hard! Just be nice to each other and don't interrupt."
As these discussions were being conducted, I also happened to be reading Barchester Towers (by Trollope), which deals with many romantic questions, and saw The Duchess (with Keira Knightley) in the theater. I heartily recommend them both.
