“When I use a word”, Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less.” “The question is”, said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass, (Chapter IV, Humpty Dumpty) “¿Qué gigantes?,” dijo Sancho Panza. “Aquellos que allí ves,” respondió su amo, “de los brazos largos, que los suelen tener algunos de casi dos leguas.” “Mire vuestra merced,” respondió Sancho, “que aquellos que allí se aparecen, no son gigantes sino molinos de viento, y lo que en ellos parecen brazos son las aspas, que, volteadas del viento, hacen andar la piedra del molino.” Miguel de Cervantes, El Quijote, Capítulo VIII – Del buen suceso que el valeroso Don Quijote tuvo en la espantable y jamás imaginada aventura de los molinos de viento, con otros sucesos dignos de felice recordación.1
1 “What
giants?” said Sancho Panza. “Those you see there,” answered his master, “with the long arms, and some have them nearly two leagues long.” “Look, your worship,” said Sancho. “What we see there are not giants but windmills, and what seem to be their arms are the vanes that turned by the wind make the millstone go.”
