Shirley McLain, are you reading?
I've never believed in reincarnation. Now I'm not so sure. I just came across this story in a blurb about the composer Giuseppe Verdi:
Verdi used the same librettist for his next opera, Lombardi. The librettist had a procrastination problem, and Verdi had to lock him in a room in order to get him to write enough on time. Once Verdi made the mistake of sticking him in the room with his wine collection, and hours later the librettist emerged drunk.

I think I would have gotten about as much accomplished as that guy if I had been locked in a room with a wine collection.
