Newlyweds Now sitting on a man contented with your side is deaf to me, eyes only. When a year or a month passes by your happiness, he sits alone in the book at a glance. Now he forgets his glass or the image of the sun on his face looks at the wine: but soon you will be forgotten: he will not hear or answer Latin. No worries: yes, students love it, although often they dream about it. You are more and more worthy of him, and he will fall into your grave. - Frans Michael Franzén Emanuel Tamminen, 1891.
