Holger Drachmann and the matches
The danish
poet
and painter
Holger
Drachmann
also had
his vices
in relation
to
matches.
His
consumption
of matches
was
so well known
that
he on his
60th birthday
got several
large packages of
matches.
These include a gift
sent
from Gosch
's
match factory, - a huge
stack
of
50,000
matchsticks
and a letter
as a
gift
and tribute
- perhaps
to remind
Drachmann
of
the many matches he has taken from
other people.
