More term paper support via Don Quijote

I would like to include a few more parts from Don Quixote that take place in one of the episodes I used in my term paper, that is, "regarding what befell Don Quixote with a prudent knight of La Mancha" (Cervantes 550). That prudent knight being the man in the green coat. This episode is chock full of material that defends not only poetry, but specifically, english majors and student poets! Because, to reiterate, the man in the green coat is venting to Don Quixote about his frustrations with his son, who "isn't as good as he would like him to be" due to his choice of studies, which is Latin and Greek Languages. His father sees this as a complete waste of time, and is frustrated that instead of moving onto other areas of knowledge, he continues to read and debate books and poetry. Don Quixote advises him that although it is true that "poetry is less useful than pleasurable" (Cervantes 556). He echoes everything we've heard from subsequent defenders of poetry this semester, saying that "art does not surpass nature but perfects it; therefore, when nature is mixed with art, and art with nature, the result is a perfect poet" (557). And in his conclusion- and this is the big line for all us english majors- Don Quixote defends our field of study, praising the man's son for having "already successfully climbed the first essential step, which is languages, with them he will, on his own, mount to the summit of human letters, which are so admirable in a gentleman" (557)
