“Fair ladies, blossom and be radiant, fill our dreams with longing, soften death, inspire poetry“
- Edmond Rostand, Cyrano de Bergerac
“She’s a mortal danger without meaning to be one; she’s exquisite without giving it a thought; she’s a trap set by nature, a rose in which love lies in ambush! Anyone who has seen her smile has known perfection. She creates grace without movement, and makes all divinity fit into her slightest gesture. And neither Venus in her shell, nor Diana striding in the great blossoming forest, can compare to her.”
- Edmond Rostand, Cyrano de Bergerac
