ponizetti and Coffee

Donizetti. composer of Lucia di
Lammermoor." sought inspiration in
the coffeepot. 1t would be interesting
to know accurately the total amount
OF coffee this erratic genius managed
to consume during his short career. It
was his habit to shut himself up in his
room with writing materials and three
OF Tour coffeepots full of steaming cot
Zee. When these were emptied he or
dered in three or four more and. these
disposed of in their turn. another three
or four. His biographer says that the
amount of coffee he drank was "fabu-
Ious." and one can we'll believe it. The
effect on his once fine constitution was
deplorable. His face shriveled and
turned yellow, his lips became black.
and with the inevitable breakdown of
his nervous system his genius fell rap
idly into premature decay.
