Edmond Rostand Quotes
I Carry My Adornments On My Soul.
I Do Not Dress Up Like A Popinjay;
But Inwardly, I Keep My Daintiness.
I Do Not Bear With Me, By Any Chance,
An Insult Not Yet Washed Away- A Conscience
Yellow With Unpurged Bile- An Honor Frayed
To Rags, A Set Of Scruples Badly Worn.
I Go Caparisoned In Gems Unseen,
Trailing White Plumes Of Freedom, Garlanded
With My Good Name- No Figure Of A Man,
But A Soul Clothed In Shining Armor, Hung
With Deeds For Decorations, Twirling- Thus-
A Bristling Wit, And Swinging At My Side
Courage, And On The Stones Of This Old Town
Making The Sharp Truth Ring, Like Golden Spurs!
