It was equal parts absinthe and brandy. (What color would that turn out to be?) Granted, he did not live or die well, and one takes one's health into one's hands when one emulates his physical habits, but if you're feeling ... historical and slightly tragic, you know what to do. One of my favorites. I think this visited the Portland Art Museum a few years ago....
