Don Quixote
On receiving a bottle of Sherry Wine of the same name What "blushing Hippocrene" is here! what fire Of the"warm South" with magic of old Spain! Through which again I seem to view the train Of all Cervantes' dreams, his heart's desire: The melancholy Knight, in gaunt attire Of steel rides by upon the windmill-plain With Sancho Panza by his side again, While, heard afar, a swineherd from a byre Winds a hoarse horn. And all at once I see The glory of that soul who rode upon Impossible quests, following a deathless dream Of righted wrongs, that never were to be, Like many another champion who has gone Questing a cause that perished like a dream.
