ABSTRACT
The mountain, which in France has always offered refuge from persecution to Jews, Vaudians and members of the Underground, is also, for the Plains Indians, the summit where one climbs naked, in a Star Quilt, to carry out the ritual of Vision Quest. The Sierra Morena provides such a place of refuge to Don Quixote, a place where he can build new stores of energy. Sent into hiding in the Maquis by Lady Dulcinea who has just caused the retreat of petty thieves, an informer and a pimp incited by a scoundrel, Don Quixote has escaped from the movement of liberation he himself set in motion.
