Mozart

(Not a writer, I know, but I’m still obsessed with the idea of something as beautiful as the music in The Marriage of Figaro somehow existing in the poetry of one writer I haven’t read yet).

Imagine what a man with his drive towards work would do with more lifetime.

Nietzsche was going to study Kierkegaard after being invited but fell very sick so could not make the trip.
