Quote of the Day

"Quelque chose que sans un pli, sans une tache,
J'emporte malgré vous,
et c'est. . .
Mon panache."

    Cyrano is defiant in the face of Death, scornful of all his old nemeses, when he says his last lines in Rostand's play:

    "One thing that, without stain or fault,
    I bear away despite you,
    and it is...
    my panache."
