One honor Twain should have received but did not was
the Nobel Prize for Literature.  Of course it went to
those far more important writers Sully Prudhomme,
Theodor Mommsen, Frédéric Mistral, José Echegaray,
Giosuč Carducci, Henryk Sienkiewicz, Rudolf Eucken,
Selma Lagerlöf, and Paul Heyse.  The names fairly trip
off the tongue, do they not?  Tolstoy never received
it either...nor Proust...nor Joyce....
