David has a deeply personal affinity for Cervantes epic, which provided the framework for him to write his own project predicated on the ideals espoused by the character of Don Quixote.
To the famous adventures of Don Quixote, the eccentric knight errant, is added new scholarship which concentrates on the knight’s relationship with lady love Dulcinea del Toboso in David P. Grzan ’s Don Quixote’s Impossible Dream: To Everyman His Dulcinea, To Every Woman Her Don Quixote.
In Miguel Cervantes’ epic, Dulcinea is the constant star that shined over Quixote’s misadventures along the length and breadth of Spain. Love was the truth that kept Don Quixote going in his pursuit of establishing himself as one of the great knights of chivalric love. Conspicuously, Quixote’s honor has been satirically crossed by the literary firmament rendered in Cervantes’ picaresque; whereas Grzan ’s anamorphic recomposition of the epic triumphantly reveals the greatest knight of chivalric love, Don Quixote.
In fine, this opus stands as a candid testimony of my especial gratitude
for which I recognize upon my parents, while also demonstrating to my
children a bevy of adoptable precepts, well-trodden, for a happy life; and,
perchance to unite my family and friends, both in practice and spirit, by
the notion that we can never overdignify an unqualified charitable respect
for one another. Now to the purpose of this metaphrastic interpretation
Don Quixote’s Impossible Dream enciphered in an excursive tribute, which is tethered gravitationally to its primary antecedent, like to a celestial system, orbiting about a
common center; my life’s dénouement, which expresses the inexpressible love
embedded in my soul for the one I love. In full-view of that love I have faithfully
set down in uncut words this valentine dedicated to my indescribable
Dulcinea, for whom I take a privileged care to describe—that the entire
world shall know her now and forever. My Dulcinea has provided me with
nothing less than the truest and deepest inspiration for the idiosyncratic
impartment of my soul, duly delivered in this love-poem. Had it not been
for her, I would, undoubtedly still be tilting at windmills.view less
