Ah! I need help finding this C.S. Lewis story/quote

[ACBRown]

Hey all,

I remember hearing someone recount an example from C.S. Lewis about two men seeking pleasure, but I cannot track down the reference. Both examples center on women. The one man courts a woman, loves her, sends her flowers and wins her heart. In the end, he gains his reward, having married her. Another man goes to a prostitute, pays her and gains his reward. Both gain pleasure, but the one is woefully shallow.

Does anyone know where this illustration can be found? I would like to reference it in a work.

Many thanks!

Austin

How about Lewis' book, The Four Loves.

re:

If that is the work, I can't find the statement. I did some word searches through Google books and nothing is coming up.

Any other thoughts?

I was going to say the same thing, "The Four Loves" seems I read something like that in there recently.
