Description
Excerpt from Journey to Parnassus
Good wine needs no bush, and a good poem should need no prologue. Cervantes was evidently of this opinion, for the single enigmatical sentence with which he introduces this delightful satire, like the piquant olive which ushers in a good Spanish dinner, was intended simply to quicken the palates of his readers. We would gladly follow his example, and allow this parnassus-journey of his, tricked out in the choicest English and the smoothest Terza firm: at our command, to present itself to English readers without the formality of an Introduction. We are.
