Great photo. He was dying of, some believe, TB at the time.... Other great writers of roughly same period killed untimely by TB: Chekhov, Kafka, D H Lawrence.
Under the wide and starry sky,
Dig the grave and let me lie. Glad did I live and gladly die, And I laid me down with a will. This be the verse you grave for me: Here he lies where he longed to be; Home is the sailor, home from sea, And the hunter home from the hill.
