Worse Than God Made Us

… Cada uno meta la mano en su pecho, y no se ponga a juzgar lo blanco por negro y lo negro por blanco; que cada uno es como Dios le hizo, y aun peor muchas veces.
(Sancho Panza, “Don Quijote,” ed. Riquer, II-4, p. 606)

Spirited translation:

… Let each person put hand on heart, and not commence judging white for black and black for white; for we’re all like God made us, and often even worse.
(JMN)

About JMN

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.
