Unique how views differ. Nothing wrong w/ that - just unique.

In my view, perhaps colored by the musical Man of La Mancha, Don Quixote is seen as noble. Maybe plain crazy at times, but always noble of heart. The Dreamer in thrall of The Dream.

I listen to Gord's song; I read the poem; I recall the rough-hewn sculpture in Gord's writingroom - all I see is noble dreams.

The song is heroic; the poem is heroic; and the sculpture is heroic. None of fools.

And the faithful, care-giving Sancho Panza. Though his Master be bone-dry old and weary, the Squire would never rob his Knight of his "wild and free."

If you'll look under the topic "What is the Meaning of The Minstrel of the Dawn?" you'll meet a person who's handle is "Don Quixoe." Knows his stuff.

By way of a candid a conversation yrs ago, I came to understand the magic within the book and the song - and the sculpture.

To the Lord of LaMancha,
