Commentary Illustration chosen with great originality; don Quixote believes that Sancho has gone and returned from El Toboso in so little time because he has been helped by an enchanter friend of him; "Así sería, dijo Sancho, porque a buena fe, que andaba Rocinante, como si fuera asno de Gitano, con azogue en los oídos. Y como si llevaba azogue, dijo don Quijote, y aun una legión de demonios, que es gente que camina, y hace caminar sin cansarse, todo aquello que se les antoja" (31:1).
One more example of Romanticism interest in don Quixote's fantasies and in imaginary scenes.
