| Back | "That is impossible," said Don Quixote: "I say it is impossible that there could be a knight-errant without a lady, because to such it is as natural and proper to be in love as to the heavens to have stars: most certainly no history has been seen in which there is to be found a knight-errant without an amour, and for the simple reason that without one he would be held no legitimate knight but a bastard, and one who had gained entrance into the stronghold of the said knighthood, not by the door, but over the wall like a thief and a robber." |

| Front | -Eso no puede ser -respondió don Quijote-: digo que no puede ser que haya caballero andante sin dama, porque tan proprio y tan natural les es a los tales ser enamorados como al cielo tener estrellas, y a buen seguro que no se haya visto historia donde se halle caballero andante sin amores; y por el mesmo caso que estuviese sin ellos, no sería tenido por legítimo caballero, sino por bastardo, y que entró en la fortaleza de la caballería dicha, no por la puerta, sino por las bardas, como salteador y ladrón. |
