Strange bedfellows
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The idiomatic English expession strange bedfellows is used in reference to situations wherein political or other mutual interests can bring together people who otherwise have little in common. This saying is taken from a line in The Tempest by William Shakespeare, spoken by a shipwrecked man who finds himself seeking shelter beside a sleeping monster:
- “Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows.”[1]
