An Irresistible Law

After a long period of intention to do so, I've been reading "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" by Thomas Hardy. In this passage he describes the title heroine and her suitor-to-be, Angel Clare:

"Tess and Clare unconsciously studied each other, ever balanced on the edge of a passion, yet apparently keeping out of it. All the while they were converging, under an irresistible law, as surely as two streams in one vale."

Those words took me back to some very fond memories. My most unlikely friendship has turned into the most important and wonderful partnership of my life. :-)
