Will Brangwen had some weeks of holiday after his marriage, so the two took their honeymoon¹ in full hands, alone in their cottage together.

And to him, as the days went by, it was as if the heavens had fallen, and he were sitting with her among the ruins, in a new world, everybody else buried, themselves two blissful survivors⁴, with everything to squander⁵ as they would. At first, he could not get rid of a culpable⁶ sense of licence on his part. Wasn’t there some duty outside, calling him and he did not come?

It was all very well at night, when the doors were locked and the darkness drawn⁷ round the two of them. Then they were the only inhabitants of the visible earth, the rest were under the flood. And being alone in the world, they were a law unto themselves, they could enjoy and squander and waste like conscienceless gods.

But in the morning, as the carts clanked by, and children shouted down the lane; as the hucksters came calling their wares⁸, and the church clock struck eleven, and he and she had not got up yet, even to breakfast, he could not help feeling guilty, as if he were committing a breach¹¹ of the law-ashamed that he was not up and doing.

“Doing what?” she asked. “What is there to do? You will only lounge about.”

Still, even lounging about was respectable. One was at least in connection with the world, then. Whereas now, lying so still and peacefully, while the daylight came obscurely through the drawn blind, one was severed¹³ from the world, one shut oneself off in tacit denial of the world. And he was troubled.

But it was so sweet and satisfying lying there talking desultorily14
