'wiki.  Credit ...

... instead.  I'd certainly never have caught that, though I think I
got at least that far way back when in attempting Cervantes' novel, at
least.  I'm glad the 'wiki pointed out teh earlier Wizard of Oz ref.
for me as well, 'cos I almost missed that one (couldn't QUITE recall
teh source of the echo).  The rest is mostly a reshufled from previous
posts juxtapostion of passages from ...

... and, of course, Ovid's Tristia (cf., of course, Tristero).
Normally, as y'all Im sure have seen here, I'd've provided
bibliographic info fo everything, but I'm hoping people'll follow the
hyperlinks to find teh sources instead.  Less typing--or, at any rate,
cutting and/or pasting--seeing as I'd done it a couple/three times
