Vivant Denon

Vivant Denon: crazy name, crazy guy. I recommend his No Tomorrow:

I doted on the Countess; I was twenty, and I was naïve; she deceived me, I was incensed; she deserted me. I was naïve; I missed her; I was twenty, she forgave me; and because I was twenty, was naïve, and, though still deceived, no longer deserted, I believed that lover was never more loved than I and I was therefore the happiest man alive.
