A review by shoba
Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes

4.0

"Señores," said Don Quixote, "let us go slowly, for there are no birds today in yesterday's nests. I was mad, and now I am sane….
he brought his will to a close, and falling into a swoon, he collapsed on his bed….This was the end of the Ingenious Gentleman of La Mancha….
The tears of Sancho and of Don Quixote's niece and housekeeper, new epitaphs for his grave, are not recorded here, although Sansón Carrasco did write this one for him:
Here lies the mighty Gentleman
who rose to such heights of valor
that death itself did not triumph
over his life with his death.
He did not esteem the world;
he was the frightening threat
to the world, in this respect,
for it was his great good fortune
to live a madman, and die sane.
