The Good Morrow Community Quotes

There's nothing like being walled up for 187 years to make you BFFs. But regardless of how close these seven youths felt, this allusion is not quite the community our speaker is going for. Forced together through persecution and fear, the Seven Sleepers are an example of how not to live: afraid and asleep.

This allusion to an allusion (whoa) makes it clear that these lovers put the sex in sleep and the fun in den. Instead of cowering in a cave, their souls are awake and happy, so filled with love that this bedroom seems bigger than the whole world.

We the lovers, in order to establish a more perfect union, do not write a constitution but rather stay in bed all day, frolicking in the perfect joy of our mutual adoration. The love that binds them is so powerful that they never want to get out of their Ikea 4-poster. Plus, they find each other so perfectly wonderful that it's like this bedroom contains the entire world. Other places? Who needs 'em?

In line 14 the speaker tells us that he both is a world and has a world (his lover). The same goes for her. But in line 15 we get a high-definition description of just how close this couple is.

It doesn't get more perfect than this, folks. This couple's love is so balanced and shared that it's like good news at the doctor's office: healthy and disease-free. Plus, this union is going to be bright-eyed and ruddy-cheeked for a long time. It's never going to weaken and it's never going to die.
