When Mozart was my age, he had been dead for four years
Having entered the world 39 years ago, I now begin my 40th year. Which made me feel rather old until I realised that if Alfred Deakin were alive, he’d be celebrating his 155th birthday today.
There are also some rather likeable features about 39, such as the fact that it’s the sum of the first three powers of 3 (31+32+33). Does this mean I should be doing things in triplicate this year?
3^0+3^1+3^2+3^3=?
Mate,
When Mozart was your age he had been dead four years.
He had also left behind over 600 publications, most of which are still today quoted in extenso.
Cheers, John
