Julian Hawthorne on Marriage.

A friend recently asked Julian Hawthorne as to the current opinion that literary marriages are rarely happy. His answer is interesting: “My own experience has been so fortunate that I am prepared to find it exceptional;: yet I am inclined to think that writers are more apt to be happy in their marriages than persons of any other given profession. They have the pleasures of real life and the pleasures of the imagination both—the one supplementing and alternating with the other. ”
