Cyrano de Bergerac.
La terre me fut importune
Le pris mon essort vers les Cieux.
l'y vis le soleil, et la lune.
Et maintenant J'y vois les Dieux
("All weary with the earth too soon,
I took my flight into the skies,
Beholding there the sun and moon
Where now the Gods confront my eyes.")
From a 17th Century Engraving of the original portrait
by Zacharie Heince.
