In Which the Paladin of the Long Face Gives Wise Counsel to His Squire

Posted on May 19, 2021 by JMN
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.
