The stars of April 23, 1616...

That day, the exact same day, the world lost William Shakespeare AND Miguel de Cervantes.

I've often wondered about this: how would astrologers, for example, account for such an extraordinary coincidence?
(Because considering their literary "weight", it IS extraordinary.)


Anyway, my (non-existent) hat off to both of them!
