Commentary | At night, don Quixote asks Sancho to give himself some lashes; "Mira la serenidad desta noche, la soledad en que estamos, que nos convida a entremeter alguna vigilia entre nuestro sueño. Levántate, por tu vida, y desvíate algún trecho de aquí, y con buen ánimo y denuedo agradecido date trecientos o cuatrocientos azotes a buena cuenta de los del desencanto de Dulcinea" (68:2).
Jou's drawing and engraving style is masterly; image with great personality. |
