Anne Hathaway

While going through the Yahoo website, I wanted to find out the trend about the actress Anne Hathaway and her recent marriage. I chanced upon the Wikipedia site talking about the wife of William Shakespeare who's name is Anne Hathaway.

The Sonnet 145 of Shakespeare is said to be directed to his wife, Anne. Though historians say that their relationship isn't all that good, I just think the message of this sonnet is sweet.

Excerpts from Sonnet 145


Those lips that Love's own hand did make
Breathed forth the sound that said 'I hate'
To me that languish'd for her sake;
But when she saw my woeful state
Straight in her heart did mercy come,
Chiding that tongue that ever sweet
Was used in giving gentle doom,
And taught it thus anew to greet:
'I hate' she alter'd with an end,
That follow'd it as gentle day
Doth follow night, who like a fiend
From heaven to hell is flown away;
'I hate' from hate away she threw,
And saved my life, saying 'not you.'
