I do not think that what is called Love at first sight is so great an absurdity as it is sometimes imagined to be. We generally make up our minds beforehand to the sort of person we should like, grave or gay, black, brown, or fair; with golden tresses or raven locks; -- and when we meet with a complete example of the qualities we admire, the bargain is soon struck.

Summary

This quote suggests that love at first sight is not as absurd as it may seem. It argues that we often have preconceived notions of the type of person we are attracted to, such as their personality or physical appearance. When we come across someone who fits our ideal criteria, we quickly become infatuated with them. In this perspective, love at first sight is viewed as a result of finding someone who matches our predefined preferences, leading to an instant connection or attraction.
