Lettres D'amour Et D'humeur, Paperback Book, By: Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac

For me all I wish, oh my beautiful M. , is that by dint of walking my freedom in these little golden labyrinths, which serve as your hair, I will soon lose it; and all that What I wish is never to recover it when I have lost it. "(Letter II, For a red-haired lady) Poetic, controversial, amorous: for Cyrano, the letter form is very much like an exercise in style. And what style! Cyrano adores this mind game which allows him to deploy his literary virtuosity and his subtle irony. He celebrates the beauty of the world, settles their accounts with the doctors, the superstitious or a few personal enemies, finally hatches delicate declarations of love.
