Fact #37: Suicidal Sleep

On March 23rd, 1950, Italian poet, Cesare Pavese wrote: "Love is truly the great manifesto; the urge to be, to count for something, and, if death must come, to die valiantly, with acclamation—in short, to remain a memory." 

Which, in itself, is pretty scary, but then again, he is a poet, and they are certified madmen.

Five months later, he walked into a newspaper office and chose his obituary photograph from the photo archive. 

He checked himself into a hotel, and days later an employee found him stretched out on the bed, dead. He was fully dressed except for his shoes. 

On the bedside table were sixteen empty packets of sleeping pills and a note: "I forgive everyone and ask forgiveness of everyone. OK? Not too much gossip, please."

Now is that dark, or what?

Yeesh!

Crazy!
