From my edition of “Don Quijote” edited by Martín de Riquer, first edition, Barcelona, 1962. I didn’t actually write in the book. The red comment is scribbled on the jpeg with an Apple Pen. The edition was a gift from the wonderful Tatjer family, who had me to dinner various evenings in their apartment. Their daughter Mercedes was my classmate in the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras. The book is inscribed by her and her brother Joan. (JMN)
Sé breve en tus razonamientos; que ninguno hay gustoso si es largo. Be brief in your remarks; none is pleasurable if it’s long. (Don Quijote)
I live in Texas and devote much of my time to easel painting on an amateur basis. I stream a lot of music, mostly jazz, throughout the day. I like to read and memorize poetry.
