| Commentary | This illustration is not too much accurate to Cervantes' text.
The caption belongs to the song that don Quixote sings during the light while Sancho is asleep; "Amor, cuando yo pienso / en el mal que me das, terrible y fuerte, / voy corriendo a la muerte" (68:2). However, Doré has represented the characters in the very instant afer being trampled by pigs. The landscape of thistles (sketched by Doré in Spain) is very remarkable, but it is not accurate either; "Don Quijote, arrimado a un tronco de una haya o de un alcornoque" (68:2). |
