Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Cyrano De Bergerac While translating Cyrano de Bergerac, I have had moments of fearing lest certain one of his qualities should dispose against him, at the start, Anglo-Saxon audiences, reared in a different ideal. I mean his boastfulness. I have hoped heartily that it would not, making them less sensitive to all there is of him beside. Indeed, boasting has a sort of picturesque good reason for being, when the boaster is better than all his boasts. Does one quarrel with "Not marble, nor the gilded monuments Of princes, shall out-live this powerful rhyme?" Cyrano is so comprehensible! To Cyrano the world he lives in must be filled with striking generous deeds and sounding generous phrases. The world is slow in performing the first, so he performs them himself. Then, the care of exalting them cannot be left with the world, afflicted with dullness as with slowness, so he talks about them.
