Love and Marriage

Since it’s June, a popular month for couples in love to vow ’til death do they part, we’re taking a brief time-out from murder, mystery, and dead bodies to celebrate young love. And old love. And all love.

Patty and husband John celebrate their 53rd wedding anniversary this month.

Here, we offer one of our favorite passages about love.

  

AS YOU LIKE IT

by William Shakespeare

Act V, Scene II

No sooner met but they looked; no sooner looked but they loved;

No sooner loved but they sighed;

No sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason;

No sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy;

And in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage . . .
