Honeymoon

HONEYMOON:

  1. A happiness not quite worn out.
  2. A postlude to a wedding-march and a prelude to a funeral ditto. E. g., "I did not drive Adam and Eve out of Eden because they ate my pet pippin, but because they insisted on carrying on their honeymoon before the modest animals."--From The Private Journal of Démiurge.
