Charpentier came from Paris, summoned by Mme. de Bergerac; and after one short, forced interview, left at once for Paris, taking M. d'Yriex with him. A few days later came a letter for Mme. de Bergerac, in which Dr.
Or again, the educated classes have tabooed most jesting about personal appearance; but in doing this they taboo not only the humor of the slums, but more than half the healthy literature of the world; they put polite nose-bags on the noses of Punch and Bardolph, Stiggins and Cyrano de Bergerac.
Whatever may be said about the disadvantages of the so-called "star system" in the theatre, the fact remains that the greatest plays of the world Oedipus King, Hamlet, As You Like It, Tartufe, Cyrano de Bergerac have almost always been what are called "star plays." The "star system" has an obvious advantage from the point of view of the dramatist.
But the poetic comedy does not misrepresent the speech one half so much, as the speech misrepresents the soul. Monsieur Rostand showed even more than his usual insight when he called 'Cyrano de Bergerac' a comedy, despite the fact that, strictly speaking, it ends with disappointment and death.
He dressed his deer and said he would take the skin to the trading-post, and also such a part of the meat as he could readily carry. "He probably means to turn over a new leaf," said Henry, after Bergerac had departed. "I hope he does." "He seemed to be mighty anxious to see your uncle," put in Barringford. "Well, if he can save Uncle James from serious trouble, I hope he does it."
The author of The Troubles in the Cevennes relates something surpassing all this which took place at Montelus on the 22nd February "There were a few Protestants in the place," he says, "but they were far outnumbered by the Catholics; these being roused by a Capuchin from Bergerac, formed themselves into a body of 'Cadets of the Cross, and hastened to serve their apprenticeship to the work of assassination at the cost of their countrymen.
The Goncourts perceived this descent of Poe from Voltaire when they recorded in their 'Journal' that the strange tales of the American poet seemed to them to belong to "a new literature, the literature of the twentieth century, scientifically miraculous story-telling by A + B, a literature at once monomaniac and mathematical, Zadig as district-attorney, Cyrano de Bergerac as a pupil of Arago."
Out of the crowd which had collected a loutish youth was chosen; a pourboire promised; and after many mutual politenesses we were permitted to teuf-teuf onto the sacred soil of France. It is no more safe to judge a French country inn by its exterior, than the soul of Cyrano de Bergerac by his nose.
A Voyage to Cacklogallinia is republished today because of its appeal to many readers. It offers something to the student of economic history; something to the student of early science. It is one of several little-known "voyages to the moon," of which the most famous are those of Cyrano de Bergerac, a form of reading in which our ancestors delighted and which deserve to be collected.
"He says he is as treacherous as they make 'em, and so are all the Wanderers under him. They move from place to place, taking whatever they can lay their hands on." "Then they will just suit a fellow like Jean Bevoir." "I don't doubt but that you are right, lad, and they'll suit Jacques Valette, too." "What has become of Hector Bergerac, do you know?"
