Summary

This quote highlights the temporary nature of sensual pleasures compared to the enduring beauty and contentment found in a happy marriage. It compares the fleeting brilliance of a comet, which appears briefly but vanishes quickly, to the transient nature of sensual enjoyment. On the other hand, a content marriage is likened to the tranquillity and lasting beauty of a lovely sunset. It suggests that while sensual pleasures may provide immediate gratification, the long-lasting joy, peace, and stability found in a fulfilling marriage surpasses them.
