Summary

The classic tragicomic play about a hero whose insecurity about his oversized nose keeps him from the woman he loves.From the time it was written at the end of the nineteenth century by French playwright Edmond Rostand, Cyrano de Bergerac has remained one of the most enduring works of our era—through countless stage and film adaptations as well as homages in popular culture.Our hero is a nobleman, a brave duelist, a talented poet—but one thing holds him back: his nose. Convinced the beautiful Roxane could never love him, Cyrano agrees to help a friend woo her instead. The story that follows has kept readers and audiences laughing and crying for over a century. This is the original play, introducing the incomparable character whom actors yearn to play, and generations of readers have fallen in love with.

    There are many things we can perhaps more easily say with flowers than with words.  And flowers can say many things to us.  So perhaps these poetic expressions of spoken words and flowery subject are a perfect match.   
     
    Many would agree that there is one flower, the rose, that embodies both the human condition, its ambitions, its sacrifices and its symbolism of devoted love that together with its own peerless self; the beauty of its perfume, its hues and colours, its shapes and forms, from rambler and climber to the stately grace of a rose bed, and, of course, its thorns, to warn that consequences carry a price. 
     
    Poets know that a rose is perhaps able to speak in many tongues on many subjects and it is therefore unsurprising that the rose is one of the great enduring symbols of the tradition in both Western and Eastern poetry.   
     
    A rose can bring a tremble of the lip, or raise the beating of a heart. They can create a mood or simplify a feeling.  Their message can be direct or nuanced but so often it is just perfect.   
     
    Our classic poets from Hafiz, D H Lawrence, Robert Burns and Shakespeare, along with very many others, explore this beautiful living symbol with their exquisite lines and verse.

    The narrative is about Lewis L. McKinsey a wealthy businessman who reminisces of his past. Initially, the saga describes business reality. Then later deliberately unfolds into encumbered details reminiscing of the protagonist coming of age; by exploring varied vibrant, profound glimpses of exuberant youthful experiences, especially, when visiting the Jersey Shore, which occurred long before his college days, and successful career apparatus. Imagine the beauty of the New Jersey seashore, back in the fifties, which some may remember; considering that many old-timers today would resonate with hearing an old song while walking the boardwalk at the New Jersey Shore, and that song was “Those Wildwood days” by Bobby Rydell. Lewis surmised that even today that memorable song is still being played; however, back in the day, the melody seemed to have held more reverence. In those days hanging out with his friends and consuming cases of Cold Duck, provides somewhat of a lens into their rebellious ways, and meeting wayward women; whom they thought was the greatest thing since sliced bread. 
    The intentional purpose of this narrative is to provide an absorbing whimsical tale of a wealthy man who deliberately reflects on humbler times. This may be considered somewhat of a rags-to-riches saga. Witness how Lewis derives his obvious present conclusion while illustrating how he arrived at being a Wall Street contender. 
      
    This exposition entails elements of love, unavoidable challenges; and graceful benevolent experiences which contributed to an enhanced life well lived on purpose
