He... learned that love is not all pleasure, but can be agony and heartache, martyrdom and sacrifice. He learned what the clergyman was talking about in the marriage service: ‘For better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish till death us do part.’ (U. Sinclair, ‘World's End’, ch.14) — Ланни... узнал, что любовь - это не только счастье, но и горькая мука, самоотречение и боль. Он понял, что значат слова священника, произносимые во время венчания: "На радость и горе, в богатстве и бедности, в здоровье и немощи любить и лелеять, пока смерть не разлучит"
