WOOPS - The Text Didn't Paginate Correctly - Here it is Again

I do plan to read the book in Spanish soon. I just have to get the edition my teacher thinks is best that includes notes and explanations. I have highlighted the stanzas I like the best. I can't in all good conscience highlight the first one as that would mean giving up all the handbags and shoes I just bought in Europe.

Happy New Year. Love, Juliette

'Consider how life should be lived.'


There's a monologue in Don Quixote where, prior to being dubbed knight and entering into battle with the Great Enchanter, he paces back and forth, lance in hand… holding
vigil over his armor—reflecting on how historians will remember him; but, catching himself in vanity, refocuses on how life should be lived.

Hearing the pompous echo of his voice, he bows his head, ashamed: 'Oh, maker of empty boasts. On this, of all nights, to give way to vanity. Nay, Don Quixote—take a deep breath of life and consider how it should be lived.' Kneeling, he reflects:

Call nothing your own except thy soul.


Love not what you are, but only what you may become.

Do not pursue pleasure, for you may have the misfortune to overtake it.

Look always forward; in last year's nest there are no birds this year.
Be just to all men. Be courteous to all women.

Live in the vision of that one for whom great deeds are done…

CONSIDER HOW LIFE SHOULD BE LIVED IN 08

I can't in all good conscience highlight the first one as that would mean giving up all the handbags and shoes I just bought in Europe where I have been the last two weeks.

Happy New Year. Love, Juliette
