5690 - Don Quixote of the earth

N. Lygeros
Translation: Paola Vagioni

Only you understood
when you set eyes on him
that this simple farmer
was the Don Quixote of the earth.
He no longer had his armor
the so heavy one
and the windmills were no longer enemies
for the forgotten knight.
He stood in front of you
silent and respectful
opposite your opus
without weeping.
