Duende essay (2233 words)
Curro Romero, on the other hand, is a "sinverguenza" -- a "shameless coward", according to the dictionary, a "chickenshit" in more idiomatic translation.
When Curro Romero has his annual moment (actually about eight to ten minutes, of which only two or three are spent in the vicinity of the bull's horns) it is not because he has suddenly become courageous.
When Romero is under the control of the duende, specifics fall away; the matador, the bull, the ring and the crowd are no longer concrete entities of the particular moment.
