Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain)
Born: November 30, 1835
Died: April 21, 1910
We salute Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) as one of America’s greatest humorists and writers.
The anniversary of his death passed last month and we wanted to share a few quotes from this remarkable man.
In 1909, Mark Twain joked that the next time Halley's Comet passed close to Earth, he would "go out" with it.
The comet had last been visible from Earth in the year Twain was born, 1835, so he claimed it would be the "greatest disappointment of my life" if it didn't also pass at the time of his death.
Clemens was indeed born just after Halley’s Comet appeared in 1835, and he died one day after it appeared at its brightest in 1910.
