I shared before that I'm really not a celebrity watcher. After I saw this couple on Oprah for Brokeback Mountain, I was charmed by them. I really rooted for them and I was surprised and sad when I read they broke up.
When I heard of his death I felt so sorry for Michelle Williams - as many do I know. The media circus is worse because she and his family aren't courting it as is so often the case. I feel guilty being a part of it by reading stories about them :(
Anyway, I read about his funeral this morning. He had another memorial service this morning in Perth. Then a funeral with Williams and 10 members of his immediate family. For this service she read this:
SONNET 18
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.
So sad...
