Anne+Hathaway

-poem illustrated that they had a strong physical attraction and relationship through use of vivid imagery and metaphors
 * How is the relationship between Anne and William revealed?**
 * "the bed we loved in was a spinning world of forests, castles, torchlight, clifftops" (line 1)
 * "My lover's words were shooting stars which fell to earth as kisses on these lips" (line 3-4)

-convey strength of love through beds
 * "In the other bed, the best, our guests dozed on, dribbling their pose" (line 11-12)

-comparing love to shakespeare dramatic writing
 * "Romance and drama played by touch, by scent, by taste" (line 10)

-although shakespeare is dead their love still exists
 * "My living laughing love- i hold him in the casket of my widow's head as he held me upon that next best bed" (12-14)

-contrast william to their guests, how materialistic other people are, illustrates that their love is not materialistic, they do not need the best bed to demostrate their love?

-the style is in shakesperean sonnet
 * What is the significance of the sonnet form?**
 * 14 lines
 * 10 syllables
 * ryhming couplet at the end

format like shakesperean sonnet but not really, its not 14 phrases, now that shakespeare is dead, the structure is no longer there, due to her grief?
