An Architect's Note-Book in Spain: principally illustrating the domestic architecture of that country.
Wyatt, M. Digby (Matthew Digby), Sir
Architecture -- Spain
[65] "Y haveys de saber que en España los misterios de las cuentas de
los Ginoveses, son dolorosos para los millones que vienen de las Indias,
y que los cañones de sus plumas son de bateria contra las bolsas, y no
ay renta que si la cogen en medio el tajo de sus plumas, y el jarama de
su tinta no la ahoguen." (The reader will observe the double meaning
which points Quevedo's sarcasm--"cañones" express at the same time
quills and cannons.)--"Sueños y Discursos por Don Francisco de Quevedo
Villegas Zaragoza." 1627. Page 19.

dejarémos nosotros en herencia à nuestros nietos?" (note of etext
