Cf. H. Mancing, The Chivalric World of «Don Quixote» (Columbia and London: Univ. of Missouri Press, 1982), p. 113. A cartoon in Punch, 26 April, 1972, shows Don Quixote charging at a fierce and steely-looking windmill. Sancho is saying: «Of course, this is just a warm-up for his title fight with the Empire State Building».

It seems to work on the principle of the «memory cell» -a «network of associated items which have a high probability of producing each other. Thus when one thinks about any single item within the memory cell, other items and experiences tend also to be activated» (Michael I. Posner, Cognition: An Introduction, Glenview, Ill. & Brighton, England: Scott Foresman, 1973, p. 29). Cf. Gombrich: «The power of recall of symbols varies of course enormously, but thanks to their economy of elements, symbols are much more amenable to availability in storage» (The Image and the Eye, Oxford: Phaidon, 1982, p. 16).

I have borrowed the concept of games of make-believe and some general ideas about mud-pies from Gareth Evans, The Varieties of Reference (London and New York: Oxford University Press, 1982), pp. 353-63.

«Toothache and Courtly Love», French Studies, 4 (1950), 50-54. The «toothache», in fact, has been used as a symbol of a variety of feelings of anguish and pain, from the metaphysical to the sexual: see, in this respect, the interesting and informative article of Theodore Ziolkowski, «The Telltale Teeth: Psychodontia to Sociodontia», PMLA, 91 (1976), 9-22. Edward C. Riley kindly informs me of the following, (obviously pure intuitive coincidence) metaphor of D. H. Lawrence: «And again she was gentle, he reassured her, even he wanted her again, with that curious desire that was almost like toothache», in «The Man Who Loved Islands», in Full Score, (London: Reprint Society, 1943), p. 530.
