Excerpt from Adventures of Don Quixote De La Mancha
Loving reader, thou wilt believe me, I trust, without an oath, when I tell thee it was my earnest desire that this off spring of my brain should be as beautiful, ingenious, and sprightly as it is possible to imagine but, alas! I have not been able to control that order in nature's works whereby all things produce their like and, therefore, what could be ex pected from a mind sterile and uncultivated like mine, but a dry, meagre, fantastical thing, full of strange conceits, and that might well be engendered in a prison - the dreadful abode of care, where nothing is heard but sounds of wretchednessl Leisure, an agreeable residence, pleasant fields, serene skies, murmuring streams, and tranquillity of mind - by these the most barren muse may become fruitful, and produce that which will delight and astonish the world.
