“He who spends time regretting the past loses the present and risks the future.”

― Francisco de Quevedo

 

Francisco de Quevedo was one of the most well-known Spanish authors of the early 17^th-century. He is most remembered for his satirical ‘dream’ poetry in which he writes himself into his story. ‘Dreams’ or ‘Visions’ is a collection of visions in which Quevedo witnesses the Day of Judgment and sees visions of hell, demons and devils, evil spirits being exorcised, and more experiences of the occult. The satire came in the form of Quevedo seeing various recognizable groups of people in hell including lawyers, astrologers, innkeepers, Protestants, accountants, Jews, physicians, and …women.
