I read Don Quixote recently in the Grossman translation (I have many holes in my education) and when Quixote leaves the scene to relieve himself the wording is "He went to do what no man can do for him." I have used that phrasing myself and offer it here.Thanks to a 500 year old Spanish novel.

The 500-year-old equivalent of "gotta go see a man about a dog."
“And the point of revising, for me, is to get to the place where the story sounds like me.” I like this for my desk. 💙
