This -- this is just awesome.

From the Guardian:

One of the most passionate couples in American literary history were reunited yesterday when the wife of Nathaniel Hawthorne, the author of The Scarlet Letter, was laid to rest alongside him in New Hampshire after an extended British detour lasting nearly 150 years.

Read the whole article -- the real fun is in the details.  The nuns who interpreted a falling tree -- it was a hawthorn -- as a sign, the actual transport of the bodies, the joint journal that Nathaniel and Sophia Hawthorne kept...  It's all pretty darn romantic.
