Once Upon a Horse

(Fighting windmills is the story.) A fantasy to escape the fall, the void of all Reality is not that tall when on the horse Stories plunge the young into the light Truth stabs the heart once in the hour glass No one dies while riding by Quixote or with him either His lance is stronger than the day is long And when the book is closed, we know All of us are braver once we’ve saved The grave, for another day, to wait To turn just round the corner made Edges sharp, much sharper than the blade *Authors Note: Don Quixote of La Mancha , or just Don Quixote (/?d?n ki?'ho?ti/, US: /-te?/; Spanish: [do? ki'xote] (listen)), is a Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes. It was published in two parts, in 1605 and 1615. A founding work of Western literature, it is often labeled "the first modern novel" and many authors consider it to be the best literary work ever written.
