Lives of the poets

Ah, it's good to start the day with a laugh-out-loud moment!

I was just reading an account of the last days of the poet Heine, and discovered that he suffered one of those less-than-perfect marriages. However, having no-one else much to leave his worldly goods to, he bequeathed everything to his wife - but on the condition that she must re-marry.... because, as he said, "Then at least one man will regret my death."
