Interesting reponse - thankyou.

V2. I think he is likening a male/female relationship to a deep ravine.

As he preceives the relationship in this light to begin with it is no wonder it fails (see also the predicted grief in v1)

He expects this woman to have the same feelings towards things as he does but she maybe doesn't respond in the right way. He really wants someone who preceives and feels exactly the same way as he does i.e. himself.

As a result the relationship fails.
