A neurotic

A sickly child

impressed by the natural world

A drop out

with great acclaim

An alcohol abuser

a contradictory image

met the dancer

the mistress

a passionate and turbulent love

all for show

a reject due to illness

a notorious poet

an archetypal Romantic

a flamboyant theatric

a heavy drinker

he collapsed

he died

a legendary figure
