There’s a plaque somewhere in Dublin that said “Blah blah blah lived here; scientist, engineer, financier, manager…” For like 20 professions. As it happens, their son became a famous poet, can’t remember the name right now, and he made his own plaque right below it, which said “Blah blah blah Jr lived here; author, poet, wit.”
I couldn’t help but feel that one of them was dramatically more successful than the other.
