YMMV / The Sandman (2022) S01E06 "The Sound of Her Wings"

• Aluminum Christmas Trees: Hob mentions seeing a version of King Lear with a happy ending. A man named Nahum Tate actually did publish a rewritten version of Lear in the 17th century with a changed ending that averted the various tragedies that Shakspeare's characters fell victim to, and it went on to eclipse the original version of the play and remain popular for well over a century before the original version of the story returned to fashion.
• Genius Bonus: Dream mentions he hadn't heard the violin piece Harry was playing in 200 years. Schubert's Symphony No. 8 was started but never finished, in 1822, exactly 200 years earlier.
