Of course he isn't. His birthday is.
His short life petered out in an asylum, neither the first nor the last gifted person to live too short a life and despair in part of the short life he had.
Yet as I played Traumerei today (no, the video is not me - he's a proper pianist) I felt that it is better to have lived a short time with passion than to live a long, cold life.
Jesus only lived 33 years and he wept and he shuddered and he sweated as it were drops of blood and he stormed and he cared and he ached and he loved and he cried out.
