Love's like the measles; all the worse when it comes late in life.

Love's like the measles; all the worse when it comes late in

Summary

This quote suggests that love is analogous to the measles, a viral infection, indicating that both have a greater impact when experienced later in life. Just as the measles can be more severe and have more adverse effects on an individual's health when contracted later in life, love too can be more intense and complicated when it appears in a person's later years. The quote emphasizes the significance of timing and the potential challenges of experiencing love later in life, possibly implying that one may be more vulnerable or less prepared to handle it.
