death and taxes, two accounts

	There are diverging accounts of François Rabelais’ death and last words. According to some, he wrote a one-sentence Will: “I have nothing, I owe a great deal, and the rest I leave to the poor,” and his last words were: “I am off in search of a great perhaps.”
	John Keats die in Rome at age 25. He told his friend Joseph Severn that he didn’t want his name on his tombstone. The stone reads: This grave contains all that was mortal of a young English poet who on his death-bed in the bitterness of his heart at the malicious power of his enemies desired these words to be engraved on his tombstone “Here lies one whose name was writ in water” Feb 24 1821
