 * ... that love-songs by physician and poet Paul Fleming (pictured), "who spent five years of his short life in Russia and the Persian Empire", were published after his death?


 * More details are sourced now, making the above a bit too general, so
 * ALT1: ... that while the German poet Paul Fleming (pictured) was on a diplomatic mission from Holstein to Persia, his fiancée in Swedish Estonia married another man?
 * ALT2: ... that poet and physician Paul Fleming (pictured) wrote love-poems to his fiancée, but she married another man while he was on a diplomatic mission for the Duke of Holstein in Isfahan? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:16, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Date and length check out. No copyright violations in the online references, AGF on offline sources. I was able to find an online source that supported the hooks (backs up offline ref). Image is PD from 350+ year old book (PD-100). I prefer ALT1 to ALT2.

 * Thank you. I prefer ALT2, because the love poems are a major part of his work as a poet. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:59, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
 * We will go with ALT2 then. I guess she preferred action to pretty words. Those family reunions must have been awkward with him marrying her sister. Froggerlaura (talk) 15:14, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
