The Piano Man
An unidentified man who became known as "Piano Man" was treated at Medway Hospital during April, 2005. The man was found wandering the streets in Sheerness, wearing a soaking wet suit and tie. Despite many attempts to communicate with him, he remained silent. When given a pen and paper he drew a grand piano. When taken to a piano in the hospital chapel, he played classical music non-stop for four hours. After four months he revealed his identity as Andreas Grassl from Bavaria, and he returned home.

—Liz Smith (20th century)
“That God became man indicates only this: that man should not seek his salvation in eternity, but rather establish his heaven on earth.”
