„- 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.
