When I ask if you know Sancho, I do not mean the unforgettable Sancho Pancha, this sidekick and manservant of Spain´s most famous knight: Don Quixote…“ Nuts he may be, but off they go, just the two — a knight and a squire across the countryside…”
No, “my Sancho” is called David Eade, admired by me for his inspiring and sincere Sancho-blog and also for his weekly internet news about what is going on and not on in this southern part of the world…
David Eade, the British Sancho Pancha tilting at windmills in and from southern Spain
…At this point they came in sight of thirty or forty windmills that are on that plain.
“Fortune,” said Don Quixote to his squire, as soon as he had seen them, “is arranging matters for us better than we could have hoped. Look there, friend Sancho Panza, where thirty or more monstrous giants rise up, all of whom I mean to engage in battle and slay, and with whose spoils we shall begin to make our fortunes. For this is righteous warfare, and it is God’s good service to sweep so evil a breed from off the face of the earth.”
“What giants?” said Sancho Panza.
“Those you see there,” answered his master, “with the long arms, and some have them nearly two leagues long.”
“Look, your worship,” said Sancho. “What we see there are not giants but windmills, and what seem to be their arms are the vanes that turned by the wind make the millstone go.”
“It is easy to see,” replied Don Quixote, “that you are not used to this business of adventures. Those are giants, and if you are afraid, away with you out of here and betake yourself to prayer, while I engage them in fierce and unequal combat.””
