Warwickshire's poets

Here is an Aleister Crowley quotation about Warwickshire (the county he was born in) from Lawrence Sutin's Do What Thou Wilt (A life of Aleister Crowley) to prove that the Beast could be funny - although until I've read more of the book I can't tell you if it was intentional or not! It made me laugh, either way.

'It has been remarked a strange coincidence that one small county should have given England her two greatest poets - for one must not forget Shakespeare (1550* - 1616).'

*As Sutin points out, Crowley couldn't even be bothered to get Shakespeare's birth year right! It should be 1564.
