A quotation from Montaigne

I see no marriages where the conjugal compatibility sooner fails than those that we contract upon the account of beauty and amorous desires; there should be more solid and constant foundation, and they should proceed with greater circumspection; this furious ardor is worth nothing.
 
[Je ne voy point de mariages qui faillent plustost, & se troublent, que ceux qui s’acheminent par la beauté, & desirs amoureux : Il y faut des fondemens plus solides, & plus constans, & y marcher d’aguet : cette bouillante allegresse n’y vaut rien.]

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essays, Book 3, ch. 5 (3.5), “Of Some Verses of Virgil [Sur des vers de Virgile]” (1586) [tr. Cotton/Hazlitt (1877)]

A quotation from Samuel Johnson

But there is a higher order of men so inspired with ardour, and so fortified with resolution, that the world passes before them without influence or regard: these ought to consider themselves as appointed the guardians of mankind: they are placed in an evil world, to exhibit publick examples of good life; and may be said, when they withdraw to solitude, to desert the station which Providence assigned them.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Essay (1754-01-19), The Adventurer, No. 126

A quotation from Molière

My first reaction was to be afraid
This ardor was a snare the Devil had laid;
And I avoided you as a temptation
That might stand in the way of my salvation.
But finally I knew, O gracious beauty,
That passion need not be at odds with duty,
That I can reconcile it with propriety;
And so I yield to it without anxiety.
 
[D’abord j’appréhendai que cette ardeur secrète
Ne fût du noir esprit une surprise adroite;
Et même à fuir vos yeux mon cœur se résolut,
Vous croyant un obstacle à faire mon salut.
Mais enfin je connus, ô beauté tout aimable!
Que cette passion peut n’être point coupable,
Que je puis l’ajuster avecque la pudeur;
Et c’est ce qui m’y fait abandonner mon cœur.]

Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]
Tartuffe, or the Hypocrite [Le Tartuffe, ou L’Imposteur], Act 3, sc. 3 (1669) [tr. Frame (1967)]

The #ardor shown by the fans on Rodra XI was incredibly inspiring. Until The Proof is in the Poutine sprayed the crowd with their trademarked current of cheese curds. Turned out, the Rodrans were extremely lactose intolerant...
Not again! groans Peach Schnapps.

They are newlyweds:
how they look at each other
they always hold hands
their #ardor for each other
I smile and remember mine.

“It used to surprise me you never went for Mia, until I saw you with Ava,” said Tom.
“Mia’s a sister,” said Dan. “The prim, proper one.”
“She doesn’t show emotion easily.”
“When all it invites is ridicule, you hide your #ardor.”
“Now & again I wonder if she wants this.” #vss365
