Mark Twain Writer, Humorist
Melancholic

“Solomon, who was one of the Deity's favorites, had a copulation cabinet composed of seven hundred wives and three hundred concubines.
To save his life he could not have kept two of these young creatures satisfactorily refreshed, even if he had fifteen experts to help him.
Necessarily almost the entire thousand had to go hungry for years and years on a stretch.
Conceive of a man hardhearted enough to look daily upon all that suffering and not be moved to mitigate it.”
