Woman hand Vs heart

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, as it was Roger
Chillingworth's, when some mightier touch than their
own may have awakened all her sensibilities, to be re-
proached even for the calm content, the marble image
of happiness, which they will have imposed upon her
as the warm reality. But Hester ought long ago to
have done with this injustice. What did it betoken?
Had seven long years, under the torture of the scarlet
letter, inflicted so much of misery, and wrought out no
repentance?
Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter
