Summary

This quote suggests that over time, the impact of romantic relationships on a woman's appearance and demeanor may differ. Initially, two decades of romance are described as possibly causing a woman to resemble a ruin, implying that continuous romantic endeavors may take a toll on her. However, the quote proposes that twenty years of marriage can transform her into something akin to a public building, which could imply a sense of durability, strength, and stability that comes with the commitment and shared experiences of a long-term marriage.
