[ENG-SPN] A mirror in between / Un espejo de por medio

'Actually, look, I think that our good Rubens detested those interfering matchmaker spirits, who, without anyone inviting them, freely lend themselves to poking their noses -perhaps, in this case, it would be more appropriate to say the bow- in the desperate dalliances of others to find out for themselves, if they have managed to find that platonic utopia, called a soulmate…'.

Honestly, at that moment, I didn't know what to answer: I just let myself be carried away by the drift of my own thoughts, coming to the conclusion of how easy it is usually for human beings to embody the role of Cupid -which, in any case, it has never gone beyond being a small reflection of an old trick artist, called Mephistopheles- to try to seduce the vanity of others, especially when there is a mirror in between.

‘En realidad, mire usted, yo creo que nuestro buen Rubens, detestaba a esos entrometidos espíritus celestinescos, que sin que nadie los invite, se prestan gratuitamente a meter las narices -quizás, en este caso, sea más oportuno, decir el arco- en los desesperados devaneos ajenos de averiguar por sí mismos, si han llegado a encontrar a esa platónica utopía, llamada alma gemela…’.

Sinceramente, en ese momento, no supe qué contestar: tan sólo me dejaba llevar por la deriva de mis propios pensamientos, llegando a la conclusión, de lo fácil que en el fondo le suele resultar al ser humano encarnar el papel de Cupido -que, de cualquier modo, nunca ha ido más allá de ser un pequeño reflejo de un viejo artista del ardid, llamado Mefistófeles- para intentar seducir la vanidad del prójimo, máxime cuando hay un espejo de por medio.
