"But we are so fond of life that we have no leisure to entertain the terror of death. It is a honeymoon with us all through, and none of the longest." From Aes Triplex by RL Stevenson
I assume "none of the longest" implies shortness of this honeymoon. This was written in the last century. Any stylistic difference in today's saying of the same meaning?
