„- doch auch dessen,
Der mit Schädel und Hirn
Hungernd pflügt, sei nicht vergessen.“
“- But also he,
Who plowes with head and brain
Always hungry, shall not be forgotten!”
So sang Freiligrath, und der kürzlich verstorbene Mark Twain hat $611,136 hinterlassen. That is how Freiligrath put it, and the recently deceased Mark Twain left $611,136.
