You came here angry because your yellow-hair is angry, yes? If you love her, it will be the same when she is sad, when she is happy. Have you ever stood where a stream spills into a river? The two become one. They laugh over the stones together, twist through the sharp canyons together, plunge down the waterfalls together. It is the same when a man and woman love one another. It is not always a pleasant thing, but when it happens, a man has little to say about it. Women, like streams, can be smooth one minute and make a man feel like he's swimming through white water the next.
The quote highlights the complexities of love between a man and a woman, comparing their relationship to the merging of a stream and a river. It suggests that emotions in love are intertwined; when one partner feels strongly, the other is affected similarly. The metaphor emphasizes that love encompasses both joy and turmoil, drawing a parallel to the unpredictability of water as it courses through varying terrains.
The passage also reflects on the nature of women, portraying them as dynamic and sometimes overwhelming, akin to a stream that can shift from calm to turbulent. It implies that men may find themselves at the mercy of these emotional tides, illustrating the intricacies of romantic connections and the inevitable challenges they bring.
