The American humorist, author and Mississippi riverboat pilot Samuel Langhorn Clemens, who wrote under the pen name "Mark Twain", was born two weeks after Halley's Comet made its closest approach to the Earth in 1835.
Clements wrote, near the end of his life, "I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don't go out with Halley's Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: 'Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together.' "
