Commentary | Don Quixote at night in the inn courtyard during the vigil of his arms, placed on a water trough. |
Notes | 1 - Reproduced after Paris: Hachette, 1963.
2 - "Gustave Doré makes it an elaborate fountain such as no arriero ever watered his mules at in the corral of any venta in Spain, and thereby entirely misses the point aimed at by Cervantes. It is the mean, prosaic, commonplace character of all the surroundings and circumstances that gives a significance to Don Quixote's vigil and the ceremony that follows" (John Ormsby, New York: T. Crowell, 1905, p. lxix). |
