Commonplace Book

'...Swift says 'no wise man ever married'; but, for a fool, I think it the most ambrosial of all possible future states. I still think one ought to marry upon lease; but am very sure I should renew mine at the expiration, though next term were for ninety and nine years.'

from a letter to Thomas Moore dated February 2, 1815, in The Letters of Lord Byron
