Night, longed for by Don Quixote with the greatest anxiety in the world, came at last, though it seemed to him that the wheels of Apollo's car had broken down, and that the day was drawing itself out longer than usual, just as is the case with lovers, who never make the reckoning of their desires agree with time.
Llegó la noche, esperada de don Quijote con la mayor ansia del mundo, pareciéndole que las ruedas del carro de Apolo se habían quebrado, y que el día se alargaba más de lo acostumbrado, bien así como acontece a los enamorados, que jamás ajustan la cuenta de sus deseos.
