Playing arpeggios
Franz Joseph Haydn
Broke both his wrists with an
Audible snap.
Languid with drunkenness
Viennesse courtesans
Fawned upon Mozart, their
Hands in his lap.
Inspiration for the writing of double dactyls from Raphael Carter and Pamela Dean Dyer-Bennet. Although of course the form was invented by Anthony Hecht and John Hollander, who jointly created Jiggery-Pokery: A Compendium of Double Dactyls. Google's making me look smart again.
