Siempre me ha llamado mucho la atención la publicidad de la compañía norteamericana Levi’s. Unos anuncios muy conseguidos que no dejan indiferente a nadie. Hace unos meses (años tal vez) lanzó una campaña donde interpretaban el acto 3 de la primera escena de una obra de Shakespeare titulada A Midsummer Night’s Dream (El sueño de una noche de verano). Aunque en España se lanzó una versión en castellano, prefiero la versión original (en inglés antiguo), ya que pierde totalmente su esencia.
BOTTOM: I see their knavery: this is to make an ass of me
SNOUT: Bottom,
BOTTOM: to fright me if they could
SNOUT: thou art changed! what do I see on thee?
BOTTOM: But I will not stir from this place
BOTTOM: What do you see? you see an asshead of your own, do you?
BOTTOM: I will walk up and down here, and I will sing
TITIANA: What angel wakes me from my flowery bed?
BOTTOM: that they shall see I am not afraid.
TITIANA: I pray thee, gentle mortal, sing again: Mine ear is much enamour’d of thy note; So is mine eye enthralled to thy shape; I love thee.
Sí, lo sé. El título de esta obra coincide con el título de mi blog, pero esa es otra historia… Tal vez alguna noche me anime a contarla aquí.

"Woman will love her, that she is a woman more worth than any man; men, that she is the rarest of all women"
"If I must die, I will encounter darkness as a bride, and hug it in mine arms"
"Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them"
"Upon thy cheek I lay this zealous kiss, as seal to the indenture of my love"
"O, two such silver currents, when they join, do glorify the banks than bound them in"
"His life was gentle, and the elements so mixed in him that Nature might stand up and say to all the world, this was a man"
These are my favourites … :) xxxx
