Arnold Bennett says that the horror of marriage lies in its “dailiness.” All acuteness of relationship is rubbed away by this. The truth is more like this: life—say 4 days out of 7Mbecomes automatic; but on the 5th day a bead of sensation (between husband and wife) forms which is all the fuller and more sensitive because of the automatic customary unconscious days on either side.

The Diary of Virginia Woolf, vol. 3, entry for Aug. 2, 1926, ed. Anne O. Bell (1980).
