Honeymoons

== == A plumb is the weight that is used determine depth, so the verb plumb is the act of determining depth. Here the reference is as an adjective meaning from "bottom to top" full.

I found an usage in Robert W. Service's Spell of the Yukon (1907) . It might not first usage, but it is still worth a read.

I wanted the gold, and I sought it,

I scrabbled and mucked like a slave.

Was it famine or scurvy - I fought it;

I hurled my youth into a grave.

I wanted the gold, and I got it -

Came out with a fortune last fall, -

Yet somehow life's not what I thought it,

And somehow the gold isn't all. No! There's the land. (Have you seen it?)

It's the cussedest land that I know,

From the big, dizzy mountains that screen it

To the deep, deathlike valleys below.

Some say God was tired when He made it;

Some say it's a fine land to shun;

Maybe; but there's some as would trade it

For no land on earth - and I'm one. You come to get rich (damned good reason);

You feel like an exile at first;

You hate it like hell for a season,

And then you are worse than the worst.

It grips you like some kinds of sinning;

It twists you from foe to a friend;

It seems it's been since the beginning;

It seems it will be to the end. I've stood in some mighty-mouthed hollow

That's plumb-full of hush to the brim;

I've watched the big, husky sun wallow

In crimson and gold, and grow dim,

Till the moon set the pearly peaks gleaming,

And the stars tumbled out, neck and crop;

And I've thought that I surely was dreaming,

With the peace o' the world piled on top. The summer - no sweeter was ever;

The sunshiny woods all athrill;

The grayling aleap in the river,

The bighorn asleep on the hill.

The strong life that never knows harness;

The wilds where the caribou call;

The freshness, the freedom, the farness -

O God! how I'm stuck on it all. The winter! the brightness that blinds you,

The white land locked tight as a drum,

The cold fear that follows and finds you,

The silence that bludgeons you dumb.

The snows that are older than history,

The woods where the weird shadows slant;

The stillness, the moonlight, the mystery,

I've bade 'em good-by - but I can't. There's a land where the mountains are nameless,

And the rivers all run God knows where;

There are lives that are erring and aimless,

And deaths that just hang by a hair;

There are hardships that nobody reckons;

There are valleys unpeopled and still;

There's a land - oh, it beckons and beckons,

And I want to go back - and I will. They're making my money diminish;

I'm sick of the taste of champagne.

Thank God! when I'm skinned to a finish

I'll pike to the Yukon again.

I'll fight - and you bet it's no sham-fight;

It's hell! - but I've been there before;

And it's better than this by a damsite -

So me for the Yukon once more. There's gold, and it's haunting and haunting;

It's luring me on as of old;

Yet it isn't the gold that I'm wanting

So much as just finding the gold.

It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,

It's the forests where silence has lease;

It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,

It's the stillness that fills me with peace. http://www.answers.com/spell+of+the+yukon

In Hinduism, Hindus have first-night and not honeymoon. Nevertheless, if the couple are willing, they may go for a honeymoon too.

First-night or wedding night (Popularly Known as Suhag-Raat) is quite different from honeymoon.

First night is an event celebrated as a function wherein the just married couple are allowed, with celebrity, to enjoy sex in privacy. Here, privacy is created for them, the couple's cultural group makes them to enter into the created privacy and their entering into privacy is celebrated as a part of wedding, or in other words, as an epilogue of the wedding function; thus notifying the purpose of the marriage having fulfilled.

First-night is believed to warder off the evil and bring in the good; whereas making use of these good for creating strong bondage between them is the motto of honeymoon.
