Modern Critics, Who Refuse To Let A Plain Thing Alone, Have Now Started A Theory That Cervantes's Work Is A Vast Piece Of "symbolism." If So, Cervantes Didn't Know It Himself And Nobody Thought Of It For Three Hundred Years. He Meant It As A Satire Upon The Silly Romances Of Chivalry.

But It Is At Least Presumable That They Could Still Detect In Our Speech, At Least When It Is Public And Elaborate, The Underlying Tone Values With Which It Began.

How Strange It Is, Our Little Procession Of Life! The Child Says, "when I Am A Big Boy." But What Is That? The Big Boy Says, "when I Grow Up." And Then, Grown Up, He Says, "when I Get Married." But To Be Married, What Is That After All? The Thought Changes To "when I'm Able To Retire." And Then, When Retirement Comes, He Looks Back Over The Landscape Traversed; A Cold Wind Seems To Sweep Over It; Somehow He Has Missed It All, And It Is Gone.
