Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Marriage Question Alarmed at the numerous marriage failures that stalk through the land, many declare the country is going to the demnition bow-wows, and as I am a much married man, I have been called to preach you a sermonette on this great question of the day; and, using the sacred symbol of the Trinity, I´m going to divide the subject under three heads, of Love, Courtship, and Marriage; the three steps by which we are led here below, like lambs to the shambles. As I´m a much married man, as I said, I´ve much experience, ergo much advice. What a good thing people don´t have to follow their own advice! - there would be an advice famine. Overawed with the vastness of my momentous subject, I have consulted the solid tomes of thinkers and poets, and insulted the peroxide domes of drinkers and flirts. Notably among the former class I sought out Shakespeare, whom a late orator proclaimed "a great ocean of wisdom whose waves touched all the shores of thought." Ah [Opening large volume on the table], the first crack out of the box we come across this embalmed bit of crystal cackle from the "sweet Swan of Avon" - "Man has seven ages." Note the wording - man. Woman´s ages is still a dark question. Fact. After the first two she abolishes the other five. But to come to a head (as all like to see a blind boil), we come to Love. Emerson says, "Love is omnipresent in nature as motive and reward, it´s our highest word, the synonym of God."
