Additional quotes by Miguel de Cervantes

Y ya, en esto, se venía a más andar el alba, alegre y risueña: las florecillas de los campos se descollaban y erguían, y los líquidos cristales de los arroyuelos, murmurando por entre blancas y pardas guijas, iban a dar tributo a los ríos que los esperaban. La tierra alegre, el cielo claro, el aire limpio, la luz serena, cada uno por sí y todos juntos, daban manifiestas señales que el día, que al aurora venía pisando las faldas, había de ser sereno y claro.
