Summary

This quote implies that artists should avoid getting married or should only marry someone who is deeply interested in their art and supports their artistic pursuits. The idea is that being an artist requires dedication, focus, and solitude, and marriage might potentially distract or hinder the artist's creative process. The suggestion of having tea together three times a week implies that the artist needs a limited amount of companionship while still maintaining the necessary space for their artistic work. The underlying theme is the belief that an artist's passion should take precedence in their life.
