No long ago I saw a story on TV news that the skull is missing from the grave. ...  :o

Yes. Horrible.


Freaky coincidence--know who else died April 23, 1616? (or buried, anyway)--Miguel de Cervantes.

They did a dig last year and found his missing bones--they reinterred the bones, and built a new monument--









Madrid's outgoing mayor, Ana Botella, read aloud an inscription on Cervantes' new gravestone — some of the last words the author penned in 1616, in his last novel The Trials of Persiles and Sigismunda, written just before his death:

Time is brief,
anxieties grow,
hopes diminish,
and yet my desire to live
keeps me alive.







FYI--the new stone monument included a typo! Should have been Sigismunda not Segismunda. Oh well!  ::)

Well, perhaps the curse was effective. ...  8)  ;D

Sigh. Nobody proofreads his or her own work anymore.  :(
