Another sentence from the Burton Raffel translation of Don Quijote (this one from Volume 2, Chapter 28):
So they went into the grove, and Don Quijote settled himself at the foot of an elm tree, and Sancho under a beech – because these trees, and all the others like them, always seem to have feet, but no hands.
