Is this to be my fate? Surely things can be arranged better than that. But if not, then what does one wear?
Mon Dieu, hear the poet's prayer.
The romantic should be here. The romantic should be there. It ought to be everywhere. from 'Sailing After Lunch' by Wallace Stevens. This could be subtitled 'How To Sleep in a Bed'. But really, the thing that I was thinking about was tastes, and comfort, too, a little. I've heard of late that people (couples) have decided that using separate bedrooms (and separate bathrooms) is the way to keep their relationships laden with mystery and excitement. It could work, I guess.
For myself, I think I prefer a lack of separation, even if it takes a duvet that is one half thistledown and one half grand piano, and industrial grade earplugs to block out the occasional gentle snore. That's the theory, anyway. I'm sure the Asquiths would have agreed. |
