HOW DO I LOVE THEE: SONNET 43: Elizabeth Barrett Browning

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways….I love thee with the breath, smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death….

When I was a young girl with thoughts of romantic fancy dancing through my head, I envisioned the day when a suitor would write a poem or song dedicated to me. During our courtship, Roger wooed me with Shakespeare, often quoting from “Sonnet 18: Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer’s Day.” Then one year, my Beloved said he would do one better, and on our 20th anniversary, he surprised me with this article entitled: “ROGER LOVES CHAZ.” He excerpted it from a chapter in his memoir, “Life Itself.” It has been four years and three months since Roger passed away, but today, July 18, on what would have been our twenty-fifth anniversary, his words were once again reverberating, and so please

On July 18, 1992, film critic Roger Ebert married Chaz Hammel-Smith, the woman who, in Ebert's words "saved me from the fate of living out my life alone." On Jan. 22, 1994, Ebert and co-host Gene Siskel devoted a segment of their TV show to director Steve James' documentary "Hoop Dreams" on the eve of its premiere at that year's Sundance Film Festival.

Now, more than 20 years after Ebert's praise helped "Hoop Dreams" gain exposure and little more than a year after Ebert died following a decade-long battle with thyroid and salivary gland cancer, Chaz Ebert and Steve James pay tribute to the critic and the man with "Life Itself," a documentary inspired by Ebert's 2001 memoir.
