Two persons
who have chosen each other out of all the species with
a design to be each other's mutual comfort and entertainment
have, in that action, bound themselves to be good-humored,
affable, discreet, forgiving, patient, and joyful, with
respect to each other's frailties and perfections, to
the end of their lives.

Small
is the trust when love is green
In sap of early years;
A little thing steps in between
And kisses turn to tears.
A while--and see how love be grown
In loveliness and power!
A while, it loves the sweets alone,
But next it loves the sour.
- Robert Louis Stevenson

as fully as he is mine....To talk to each other is but
a more animated and an audible thinking.
