Summary

This quote suggests that the greatest dangers in life are associated with two significant events: being born and getting married. By saying "all of man's peril comes of bed," it implies that both beginning life (birth) and entering into a marital relationship (bed is a metaphor for marriage) are the root causes of mankind's troubles. The quote may be suggesting that the vulnerability and potential dangers of existence and human relationships are what lead to the risks and difficulties faced throughout life.

Michael Robartes remembers forgotten beauty and, when his arms wrap her round, he presses in his arms the loveliness which has long faded from the world. Not this. Not at all. I desire to press in my arms the loveliness which has not yet come into the world.
