The facts: second-richest family in the Aust
ro-Hungarian empire; eight children, seven
Grand pianos, three sons lost
To suicide, seeking an unarticulable heaven.
Ludwig lived, as gardener, don, hos
-pital porter, wrote the austere Tractatus - that lan
-guage mirrors reality, a proposition is a picture of a state
In the world, and the rest is just of waste of time.
Paul thrived, until an unspeakable loss
As a world-class concert pianist, and as a man:
In war, his right arm, wounded, was amputat
-ed. One-handed, he continued. A perfect rhyme:
Ludwig tried to say what was unsayable,
Paul tried to play what was unplayable.
