While translating Cyrano de Bergerac, I have had moments of fearing lest certain one of his qualities should dispose against him, at the start, anglo-saxon audiences, reared in a different ideal. I mean his boastfulness. I have hoped heartily that it would not, making them less sensitive to all there is of him beside. Indeed, boast ing has a sort of picturesque good reason for being. When the boaster is better than all his boasts. Does one quarrel with.
