“Such is the common process of marriage. A youth and maiden exchange meeting by chance, or brought together by artifice, exchange glances, reciprocate civilities, go home, and dream of one another.

They marry, and discover what nothing but voluntary blindness had before concealed; they wear out life in altercations, and charge nature with cruelty.” LittlesHomeDreamTogetherProcessChanceCommonAttentionMarriageYouthMeetingsCrueltyGlancesBlindnessCivilityConcealedUneasyMaidensArtificeReciprocateHappy Together Book:Samuel Johnson: Selected Writings Source: Samuel Johnson: Selected Writings
