If anyone wants to check our shape, size, manners and looks he’ll find that we’re in all respects very similar to wasps. To begin with, when we’re angered, there’s no creature with a temper more cutting or more crabby than ours. And then we behave like wasps in many other ways: we gather in swarms as if in hives and some of us do the judging at the Archon’s Court, others at the Court of the Eleven and others still in Pericles’ old haunt, the Court of Odeum. There we gather as a tightly knit swarm up against the walls bending over the ground like worms in their cells, barely moving. As to how we make our living, we can come up with many schemes: we sting everyone with a bitter sting and out pops our loaf of bread.

But alas, there are the lazy stingless drones who sit at home all day long and who, making no effort at all, eat the tributes away! But what bugs us most is this: Some people whose hands have seen no calluses through oars or spears held against the enemy of our land, and yet they steal our wages!

The Wasps. Aristophanes. Translated by G. Theodoridis

Jimmy Stewart en Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, un sencillo y maravilloso título para una sencilla y maravillosa película que además de eso, o quizá por eso, es sencilla y maravillosamente genial.

Por estos lares, con la manía de andar “meneandolo” todo, se le puso el pomposo, aunque no totalmente vacío, Caballero sin Espada.

Hoy, salvando distancias y diferencias (es de 1939), quizá podríamos titularla El Indignado Obstruccionista.
