Summary

This quote suggests that the beginning of a marriage is filled with romance, passion, and beautiful moments, similar to the enticing charm of poetry.

It implies that the initial excitement fades, and the romance is replaced by regular routines and realities. This quote encapsulates the idea that the nature of marriage evolves, moving from enchanting beginnings to a more down-to-earth partnership.
