CYRANO DE BERGERAC
181

Cyrano

[sitting up, and speaking with a Gascon accent].

From the moon!

De Guiche.

From ... ?

Cyrano

[in a dreamy voice].

What's o'clock?

De Guiche.

He's lost his mind, for sure!

Cyrano.

What hour? What country this? What month?
What day?

De Guiche.

But . . .

Cyrano.

I am stupefied!

De Guiche.

Sir!

Cyrano.

Like a bomb
I fell from the moon!

De Guiche

[impatiently].

Come now!

Cyrano

[rising, in a terrible voice],

I say, the moon!
