VN never notice in his conferences, I think (maybe I am wrong), that
the "accepted" Shakespeare'birthday (23 avril
1564, baptized the 25th ) is the same day than the one of shakespeare's
death. But the new calendar of Gregor XIII
was effective in England (in 1585 if my memory is correct) between 1564
and 1616, wasn't it?.
Anyway, these dates make me think to a sort of palindrome, the last pun
of
the presumed author of Hamlet.
As usual, my apologies for the clumsy English.
