Thank you for posting.
So much genius, talent and beauty comes from the crucible of suffering.
You're welcome. Accidentally stumbled on that medical article. Need more like it.
Very true about suffering and the arts in general. Reminds me of writers like Lord Byron and others, who suffered manic-depression but still managed to write masterpieces. The prototypes for me are still Beethoven (deafness) and Schubert, in the musical realm.
btw, 2020 is Beethoven's 250th anniversary, and much of Europe will mark it with concert events and educational programmes at museums etc. A good time for me to revisit Germany and Austria, I think. Looking forward to it. Bonn, Vienna. With Munich, Leipzig and Dresden tossed in for art viewing (and Bach -- Leipzig). A pilgrimage of sorts.
cheers
