Richard Francis Burton - I'd like to be born the son of a duke...

I'd like to be born the son of a duke with 90,000 pounds a year, on an enormous estate.. And I'd like to have the most enormous library, and I'd like to think that I could read those books forever and forever, and die unlamented, unknown, unsung, unhonored - and packed with information.
