Proper

Apart from a coda in the last paragraph listing Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Verdi, Tolstoy, and Yeats, this article on youthful genius from the Guardian is essentially an elaborated list of the following luminaries in the following order:

Sterne
Mozart
Wordsworth
Chatterton
Keats
Shelley
Byron
Buchner
Pushkin
Kean
Hugo
Shakespeare
Stoppard
Mahler
Orson Welles
James Dean
Goethe
Michael Jackson
Baudelaire

...... Charlotte Church!


To rank at such a tender age as such an apotheosis is indeed both tidy and dead lush.

I salute her as the youngest Welsh Born Icon to date.
