With a pure heart Without father without mother without God or homeland either without crib or coffin-cover without kisses or a lover For the third day - without fussing I have eaten next to nothing. My store of power ere my years I sell all my twenty years. Perhaps, if no one else will the buyer will be the devil. With a pure heart - that's a job: I may kill and I shall rob. They'll catch me, hang me high in blessed earth I shall lie, and poisonous grass will start to grow on my beautiful heart. (Tr.: Thomas Kabdebo)

A note about the name: in some regions of historical Hungary, it was common to turn normal names into surnames (something different from patrinomials).
József's death at a young age was long thought to have been suicide. Would have been fitting to his pre-death mood. However, a new look ito the records suggested that this was a popular myth: he 'merely' made the fatal decision to spare his powers by crossing a stopped freight train between two wagons, and just then the train started. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
