"No," he said, believing his imagination, and this, in a voice that could be heard; The greatest beauty of the earth must not be part of the earth so that I stop worship In nymph of the golden gold, weaving gold fabrics and composite serving, pray I have Merlin, or Montesinos, where they want; That, where you are mine, and I have been me, and I must be, yours.
In Miguel de Cervantes' "Don Quijote de La Mancha," a character expresses a deep conviction about the nature of beauty and worship. He believes that true beauty transcends its physical form, suggesting that the greatest aspects of the earth should not solely belong to the earth. This perspective elevates beauty to a realm of imagination and reverence, where it detaches from the mundane and instead becomes something to be adored and aspired to.
The character's yearning for companionship with ethereal figures, like nymphs and mythical creatures, hints at a desire for deeper connections beyond the material world. He evokes the chants of Merlin or Montesinos, seeking a connection that transcends reality. This longing illustrates how he views beauty and love as intertwined, wherein possession and belonging to one another are essential for true fulfillment.
