| Commentary | After being "defeated" by the windmill, don Quixote pursues his journey towards Puerto Lápice melancholic on Rocinante; Sancho follows him eating on his donkey; "Con esta licencia se acomodó Sancho lo mejor que pudo sobre su jumento, y sacando de las alforjas lo que en ellas había puesto iba caminando y comiendo detrás de su amo muy de espacio" (8:1).

| Notes | 1 - "He ahí el sol de la Mancha, el cielo liso y azul, el mar amarillento de las mieses, los molinos de viento asomando a lo lejos. Inmensidad arriba, inmensidad abajo. Y una tercera inmensidad, ésta invisible: la del propio Don Quijote, embebido en sus tristes pensamientos, solo, aunque Sancho le vaya a la zaga, mascando un mendrugo seco" (Givanel). |
