You strip from me the laurel and the rose!
Take all! Despite you there is yet one thing
I hold against you all, and when, tonight,
I enter Christ's fair courts, and, lowly bowed,
Sweep with doffed casque the heavens' threshold blue,
One thing is left, that, void of stain or smutch,
I bear away despite you …
My panache.

Edmond Rostand

Well when I write my book, and tell the tale of my adventures — all these little stars that shake out of my cloak — I must save those to use for asterisks!
