According to the handy "Things Other People Accomplished At Your Age" calculator, at my age, Michelangelo completed the Sistine Chapel ceiling and Charles Dickens finished David Copperfield. Also, at my age, Jefferson was governor of Virginia, Madison published his Federalist essays, Conrad published Almayer's Folly, Miles Davis was working on Seven Steps to Heaven, John Singer Sargent painted Lady Agnew of Lochnaw.... On the other hand, if I were British, this would be my happiest age.
