(9) Ed. Note: The editor apologizes for the few Q's who have been
famous.
QUIETUS, Fluvius, of Rome. Always put his name to everything when he
came around.
QUIXOTE, Don, famous knight-errant of Spain. Made some desperate
conquests for his lady-love, and was defeated by a windmill. In all his
defeats, however, he showed to the world that a laugh cuts deeper than a
sword, and that satire would kill where a lance could not penetrate. The
word quixotic is used to his commemoration.
