Quote by Andrew Lang
...she has been bewitched by a wicked sorceress, and will not regain her beauty until she is my wife.''Does she say so? Well if you believe that you may drink cold water and think it bacon'.
Summary
The quote sarcastically dismisses the idea that someone's appearance is dependent on a particular person's hand in marriage. By using the analogy of drinking cold water and imagining it to be bacon, the speaker implies that believing such a claim is foolish and unlikely. The quote suggests that the notion of beauty being tied to a specific individual's marriage proposal is irrational and not to be taken seriously.
