Don Quixote Was Right

1.
Old Don Quixote
was right after all.
The windmills were giants;
giants, but still small.
 
2.
For their children would dwarf them
clutch the world in their sails
and with no one to fight them
the mills would prevail.
 
Chorus:
And Sancho Panza;
what happened to you?
What did those windmills turning around
turn you into?
 
3.
The mills used their enchantment
to bewitch peoples minds
though it looked just like money
still it made people blind.
 
4.
And their millstones whirled faster
than the world could restore
now we need Don Quixote
more than ever before.
 
Chorus:
And Dulcinea;
what happened to you?
What did those windmills turning around
turn you into?

A lovely sense of words blowing about us here and a great sentiment too.

with wind turbines. I kind of think of them as saviours rather than monsters.

I believe by the end of Don Quixote's journeys he accepted he was wrong about the windmills

Hi, Ed.

Windmills were the origin of the industrial revolution.

Sorry if I offended any windmill fans. I actually like windmills.

As for how I use Don Quixote, its just artistic license.

Windmills akin to the dark satanic mills I guess.

I really like reading Cervantes but it is hard work I am about half way through Quixote and I've had the book for five years. It is funny though.
