Summary

This quote compares sensual pleasures to a comet and a happy marriage to a lovely sunset. It implies that sensual pleasures, like a comet, are fleeting and temporary, providing a quick burst of excitement or pleasure but lacking longevity. On the other hand, a happy marriage is compared to a beautiful and peaceful sunset, suggesting that it brings tranquillity, stability, and enduring happiness. The quote highlights the idea that seeking long-term contentment and fulfillment, such as in a successful marriage, is more valuable than pursuing temporary pleasures.
