Richard en la sombra

["Unless to spy my shadow in the sun". Así lo ve Al Pacino]

[...]But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks,
Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass;
I, that am rudely stamp'd, and want love's majesty
To strut before a wanton ambling nymph;
I, that am curtail'd of this fair proportion,
Cheated of feature by dissembling nature,
Deformed, unfinish'd, sent before my time
Into this breathing world, scarce half made up,
And that so lamely and unfashionable
That dogs bark at me as I halt by them;
Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace,
Have no delight to pass away the time,
Unless to spy my shadow in the sun
And descant on mine own deformity:
And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover,
To entertain these fair well-spoken days,
I am determined to prove a villain
And hate the idle pleasures of these days.[...]

[W. Shakespeare, Richard III, from Act I, scene 1]

Fue sorprendente descubrir que mi "jefe" (mi coordinador o mi mentor sería más exacto, creo) también encuentra inspiración en este personaje. Richard se hace simpático aunque sea un criminal.
