"For they presented a wide and spacious field through which the pen might run without any obstacles, describing shipwrecks, storms, clashes, and battles; portraying a brave captain with all the qualities needed for such a part, showing him cautious in forestalling the craftiness of his enemies and eloquent in persuading or dissuading his soldiers, prudent in counsel, prompt in resolution, as courageous in awarding as in delivering an attack;"
Miguel De Cervantes Saaverdra
