Anton Chekhov’s death scene set in a German spa was later described by his wife, the actress Olga Knipper:
“After announcing that he was dying, [Anton] drank a full glass of champagne, lay on his left side, and stopped breathing. In the silence, a large moth fluttered its wings against the light bulbs, and then the stillness was broken by the cork exploding from the the champagne bottle.”

So adorable!
As it has been said:
Love and a cough
cannot be concealed.
Even a small cough.
Even a small love.
