Commentary | Reference to the dialogue among don Quixote, the housekeeper and the niece; "Todo lo sabe, todo lo alcanza: yo apostaré que si quisiera ser albañil, que supiera fabricar una casa como una jaula" (6:2); and also "Yo te prometo, sobrina -respondió don Quijote-, que si estos pensamientos caballerescos no me llevasen tras sí todos los sentidos, que no habría cosa que yo no hiciese, ni curiosidad que no saliese de mis manos, especialmente jaulas y palillos de dientes" (6:2). |
