“Once, while hiking in the Alps, [Hungarian playwright Ödön von Horváth] came across the corpse of a long-dead climber. After rummaging in the fallen man’s rucksack he found a postcard. ‘Having a wonderful time.’ Asked by his friends what he did next, von Horváth replied, ‘I posted it.’”
—From Lloyd Evans’ review of Ödön von Horváth’s “Faith, Hope, and Charity” in The Spectator. (via my-ear-trumpet)
