Edmond ROSTAND (1868-1918). L.A.S., March 25, 1898, to Constant Coquelin; 1page in-4.
Superb letter on the centenary of Cyrano de Bergerac.
"My dear Coquelin,
Here is the hundredth; here is my hundredfold gratitude; you have been Cyrano a hundred times, without once being less so. It seems that some actors just give up!
This overwhelming role has ceased to weigh on you. You've got used to being extraordinary. But, my dear, you don't even tire anymore! I feel like adding more scenes.
You've worn out two costumes, and tonight you're going into the third, newer than the last. It's wonderful.
I kiss you"...
