    Romances paint at full length people's wooings,
    But only give a bust of marriages:
    For no one cares for matrimonial cooings.
    There's nothing wrong in a connubial kiss.

    He would have written sonnets all his life?

You say that love is nonsense....I tell you it is no such thing. For weeks and months it is a steady physical pain, an ache about the heart, never leaving one, by night or by day; a long strain on one's nerves like toothache or rheumatism, not intolerable at any one instant, but exhausting by its steady drain on the strength.
