Seeking help to understand a few lines from a great Author
Please help... Could you please explain it in simple language ?
These lines are from The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Thanks in Advance
"Let men tremble to win the hand of woman, unless they win along with it the utmost passion of her heart! Else it may be their miserable fortune, when some mightier touch than their own may have awakened all her sensibilities, to be reproached even for the calm content, the marble image of happiness, which they will have imposed upon her as the warm reality"

Don't marry a woman unless she loves you, because she may be sorry she married you later, even though you treat her well. Welcome to English Forums, Doha.
