177 years ago: 23-year old dramatist Karl Georg #Büchner died, "His literary achievements, though few in number, are generally held in great esteem in Germany and it is widely believed that, had it not been for his early death, he might have joined such central German literary figures as Johann Wolfgang von #Goethe and Friedrich #Schiller at the summit of their profession." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_B%C3%BCchner #tomorrow
