" "

Thou whose injustice hath supplied the cause
That makes me quit the weary life I loathe,
As by this wounded bosom thou canst see
How willingly thy victim I become,
Let not my death, if haply worth a tear,
Cloud the clear heaven that dwells in thy bright eyes;

I would not have thee expiate in aught
The crime of having made my heart thy prey;
But rather let thy laughter gaily ring
And prove my death to be thy festival.
Fool that I am to bid thee! well I know
Thy glory gains by my untimely end.

Additional quotes by Miguel de Cervantes

أنا لن أتشاجر . ليتشاجر ويتقاتل سيدانا ،وهناك يلقيان بعضهما، ونحن نشرب ونعيش، فإن الزمن يسرق منا الحياة والدنيا فانية، وليس من واجبنا تقديم مشهيات للموت، حتى يقضى علينا قبل الأوان، ولنترك أنفسنا ثمارا تسقط عند نضجها.

Eventually Don Quixote’s last day on earth arrived, after he had received all the sacraments and had expressed, in many powerful words, his loathing of books of chivalry. The notary was present, and he said that he’d never read in any book of chivalry of any knight errant dying in his bed in such a calm and Christian manner as Don Quixote, who, amidst the tears and lamentations of everybody present, gave up the ghost; by which I mean to say he died.
