St. Crispin's Day and Shakespeare

Enjoy this incredible post about the real life story behind one of my favorite cinema moments! (Kenneth Branagh in Henry V's Eve of St. Crispin's Day Speech).

(Note: It's funny to think this about a war play, but it contains one of my favorite romantic lines ever

thou
hast me, if thou hast me, at the worst; and thou
shalt wear me, if thou wear me, better and better:"
Act 5, Scene II. I just love the "thou shalt wear me better and better" as one of the truest expressions of the grace of Marriage)
