CYRANO à LE BRET : Regarde-moi, mon cher, et dis quelle espérance Pourrait bien me laisser cette protubérance ! Oh ! je ne me fais pas d'illusion ! -… - Edmond Rostand
" "CYRANO à LE BRET :
Regarde-moi, mon cher, et dis quelle espérance
Pourrait bien me laisser cette protubérance !
Oh ! je ne me fais pas d'illusion ! - Parbleu,
Oui, quelquefois, je m'attendris, dans le soir bleu ;
J'entre en quelque jardin où l'heure se parfume ;
Avec mon pauvre grand diable de nez je hume
L'avril, - je suis des yeux, sous un rayon d'argent,
Au bras d'un cavalier, quelque femme, en songeant
Que pour marcher, à petits pas, dans de la lune,
Aussi moi j'aimerais au bras en avoir une,
Je m'exalte, j'oublie... et j'aperçois soudain
L'ombre de mon profil sur le mur du jardin !

Additional quotes by Edmond Rostand
Cyrano’s response is telling; consenting to eat only for fear that to refuse to do so might grieve the sweetmeat vendor, he takes a single grape, a glass of water, and half a macaroon. His abstemiousness with regard to the pleasures of the table extends symbolically to all pleasures of the flesh; a facet of his idealism, which leads him to prefer contemplation of the stars and the moon over more earthly and earthy delights, we will see as the play progresses that this tendency toward self-denial comes close to a philosophy of life — such that he manages to reach the end of the play and the end of his life without having conquered the object of his desire.
