A word of all the words I've got in there...
But if I wrote... Let's get it written, then,
This letter I've composed a hundred times,
Written and rewritten in my mind: it's ready
And all I have to do is lay my soul
Open beside the paper and copy it out.

Cyrano: The leaves — -
Roxane: What color — -Perfect Venetian red! Look at them fall.
Cyrano: Yes — -they know how to die. A little way
From the branch to the earth, a little fear
Of mingling with the common dust — -and yet
They go down gracefully — -a fall that seems
Like flying!
