New-daddy Russell Crowe reveals
TO the
Sydney Morning Herald THE poem that inspired his 3-day old
son's name.
Tennyson (
not Tenyson as reports originally had it spelled) was named after
THE English poet Lord Alfred Tennyson who wrote a poem that both Crowe
AND wife Danielle Spencer love.
The stanza reads:
If I were loved, as I desire TO be/What is there IN the great sphere of THE earth/And range OF evil between death AND birth/That I should fear, if I were loved by thee?
I
HAVE a feeling that Tenny (as Crowe affectionately calls him) will
BE using this poem one day
TO woo
THE ladies.
The Oscar-winner happily reports his entire family, including
2-year-old Charlie, are doing well. "Dani's doing great [and] Charlie's very happy."
